Afridi’s ball-tampering also under consideration by PCB inquiry committee


Afridi’s ball-tampering also under consideration by PCB inquiry committee

By on Saturday, 6th February 2010

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) six-member committee lined up Shahid Afridi’s ball tampering offense in their probing for Pakistan’s disastrous whitewash in Australia.

“The six-man evaluation committee will start work from next week and we have also included Afridi’s case in our terms of reference,” said Wasim Bari, head of the committee and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief operating officer.

The other committee members are PCB governing board member Wazir Ali Khoja, former team manager Yawar Saeed, PCB director Zakir Khan, PCB legal adviser Tafazzul Rizvi and director of the national cricket academy Haroon Rasheed.

PCB earlier this week had formed an Inquiry Committee to evaluate the national team performance on the tour of Australia. The Committee will look into the various aspects of the team performance and make recommendations accordingly. As, Afridi, leading Pakistan in the fifth ODI at Perth in the absence of touring captain Mohammad Yousuf, was caught on television, twice biting the ball to change its condition – which was later taken into consideration by ICC and ban him for two Twenty20 matches.

Bari said Afridi’s foul was “unacceptable and we will look into the matter and make our recommendations.”

Bari further said the committee would summon coach Intikhab Alam, manager Abdul Raqeeb, captain Yousuf and others for questioning before submitting a report to PCB chairman Ijaz Butt by the end of February.
