President, Sports Ministry gave nod for PCB penalties
LAHORE The Pakistan Cricket Boards stringent disciplinary action against erring players, including indefinite bans on former captains Mohammad Yousuf and Younus Khan, was backed by the countrys President and PCB chief patron Asif Ali Zardari.
Media reports quoted sources that the PCB had kept Zardari and the Sports Ministry aware of the recommendations made by the inquiry committee which probed the teams poor performance in Australia.
The board moved against the seven players after getting approval from the top, the reports said.
The PCB said it had placed an indefinite ban on Yousuf and Younus as their infighting had a bad influence on the team.
The Board also announced a 12-month ban on Shoaib Malik and Rana Naved and fines of Rs three million each on Shahid Afridi and Kamran Akmal and Rs two million on Umar Akmal.
The board had also placed Shahid and Kamran under a six-month probation.
