PCB discontinues inquiry against Shoaib Akhtar after apology | The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has discontinued its enquiry against controversial fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar for criticizing the team management on a television
chat show. PCB chairman Ijaz Butt told media persons here, that since Akhtar has
admitted his mistake and apologized for the same, board has also decided to drop
the inquiry. “It was nice of him to accept his mistake and we don’t want this
issue to linger on any longer. So we have closed this chapter,” The Daily Times
quoted Butt, as saying. The PCB had served a show cause notice to Akhtar for breaking
the board’s code of conduct. He has been accused of violating three clauses of
the central contract by giving a television interview in which he claimed that
the national team management conspired against him and that he considered suing
the authorities for leaking a confidential medical report. Akhtar, during the
television show, had described the former PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf, as a ‘second
grade person’, and said that all previous administrators had done nothing but
ruined the game in the country. Meanwhile, Akhtar said he is working hard on his
form and fitness and would soon start competing in domestic matches to prove his
fitness. Akhtar, 34, has been struggling with his form and fitness for a long
time which has seen him lose his place from both Test and one-day squad. |
