KARACHI, Aug 25: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has received more complaints from the manager of the Pakistan A team, Mr Justice Ijaz Yousuf, against a couple of other players also.

Justice Yousuf has also named batsman Rana Qayyum and paceman Fazl-i-Akbar as the two most undisciplined cricketers besides Shoaib Akhtar on the recently concluded tour of England.

According to sources, Justice Yousuf advised the PCB on Saturday and during the Council meeting that the three players should not be considered for selection for the Sahara Cup.

Shoaib Akhtar's name, on the recommendation, was consequently pulled out but since Akbar and Qayyum were not in the team, their names did not surface. However, sources indicate d that Akbar and Qayyum will face disciplinary enquiry for action. Rana Qayyum, it may be mentioned here that, was banned for submitting fake age certificates in 1994.
