KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has sent a notice to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) seeking clarification on the Board’s decision to slap him with a one-year ban and a penalty of Rs2 million.
“We will respond to Shoaib Malik’s notice soon in which he has sought justification over his punishment,” said PCB media director Nadeem Sarwar.
Sarwar made it clear that Malik hasn’t appealed against the punishment so far. “We are yet to receive a formal appeal from Malik. The deadline for filing the appeals is April 16.”
Malik, who is currently in Hyderabad (India) for his upcoming marriage with tennis star Sania Mirza, was one of the seven leading Pakistani cricketers who were penalised for a variety of offences ranging from indiscipline to ball-tampering.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday said it was willing to consider lifting the ban on former captain Shoaib Malik. if he makes an appeal.
PCB chairman Ijaz Butt told Headlines Today that the board might consider lifting the one-year ban on Shoaib.
Shoaib - who is in a legal wrangle because of his alleged marriage to Hyderabad woman Ayesha Siddiqui - was banned for a year after the Pakistani team's tour of Australia earlier this year. This was part of a sweeping crackdown by the PCB on senior players.
Referring to the ban, former Pakistan cricketer Sarfaraz Nawaz had accused Shoaib of fixing matches.
