Shoaib ban lifted
THE Pakistan Cricket Board lifted Shoaib Malik's 12-month ban for ill-discipline yesterday, making the former captain available for selection to the national team. "I have decided to uphold his appeal and remove the ban as the board has extensively monitored his behavior in the last three months," PCB arbitrator and retired judge Irfan Qadir told reporters in Lahore. Qadir said the board had noticed a marked improvement in Malik's behavior and attitude. The PCB appointed Qadir as the arbitrator/appeals judge after it banned and fined seven players in March following a probe into the team's troubled tour of Australia early this year. "I was shocked when they imposed the ban. But I am happy that I have been vindicated now," Malik who married Indian tennis player Sania Mirza last month, told a local TV channel.
