Full coverage of Shoaib's five-year ban and its aftermath

03-Apr-2008

Shoaib Akhtar was handed by a five-year ban by a PCB disciplinary committee for criticising the board after not being offered a contract. His comments came while he was on a two-year probation for hitting team-mate Mohammad Asif with the bat in the World Twenty20 last year, an act which also saw him banned for 13 matches and fined over US$50,000. Here is Cricinfo's full coverage of Shoaib's downfall.
