PCB Press Release
It has been reported in a section of the press that the two senior
players of the Pakistan Cricket team are involved in a brawl and one
of them has threatened to cut the tour short and go back to Pakistan.
Pakistan Cricket Board contacted the Tour Management today and
authentically denies such baseless and mischievous press reporting.
The team is in high spirits after winning the Test and ODI series
against Zimbabwe and is expected to do well in the Triangular
Tournament despite (knee) injury to Shoaib Akhtar, Inzamam-ul-Haq and
Azhar Mahmood. Their medical reports are being awaited.
In the meanwhile the Tour Management Committee has requested to send
reinforcement and the matter has been passed onto the selection
Committee comprising of Mr. Zaheer Abbas and Mr. Shafiq Ahmed.
