The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has banned Shahid Afridi from playing in the Sharjah Cup that will be held between April 1 and 10. Sri Lanka and South Africa will be the other teams participating in the tournament.
Afridi has also been fined 50 per cent of his Indian game match fee in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003, as he was found guilty of swearing at two Indian batsmen, Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar, and also at umpire David Shepherd.
A spokesman of the PCB told media that they had received an official complaint from the International Cricket Council (ICC) supported with evidence regarding Afridi’s behaviour. So since Afridi breached the players Code of Conduct, he had to be penalized.
Shahid Afridi has however been allowed to represent his team in the ongoing National Bank Patron's Cup one-day tournament to be held between March 16 and 22.
The spokesman added that all the players were going to be given a chance to play so that the selectors have a fair idea about the fitness and form of the players, as then it would be easy for them to select the team for the Sharjah Cup that would be announced on March 24.
PCB Chairman Lt Gen Tauqir Zia told media that only after the selection of the 15-man squad would they decide upon who would be the captain of the team. The team management of the World Cup squad has also submitted their reports and apprised the chairman in detail about the form of players.
