PCB issues show cause notice to Afridi

Shahid Afridi receives a show cause notice by PCB for expressing his reservations over the selection of the team.

Express October 12, 2010

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was issued a show cause notice by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday for expressing his reservations over the selection of the team for the upcoming series against South Africa.

Afridi was retained as skipper for the One-Day Internationals and the Twenty20 matches for the upcoming series which will be played in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Afridi spoke about the team selection with Kamran Shahid on the TV show ‘Frontline’ on Express News, where he hinted at not being consulted for the squad’s selection.

He added that a few players suggested by him would have made the team stronger.

Nazir Habib | 14 years ago | Reply As long as these SYCOPHANTS, ACOLYTES and YESSIRS are running the PCB you can expect DISASTERS ON AN UNMITIGATED SCALE. The sooner Ejaz Butt and his cahoots are booted outS the better for the MORALE of the country. It will definitely work wonders and go the distance. S hahid Afridi is a good captain and this blogger wishes him all the success. Since he has to control the team spirit, (espirit de corps) he must select his own team with the chief selector and physio only. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Shift the PCB back to Karachi and elect the governing body through elections. No more patron stuff. With salams and best wishes.

Ibrahim KK (MIKE) | 14 years ago | Reply PCB and Pakistan cricket team both lack merit. It is not Pakistan Cricket Board rather it has turned into Punjabi Cricket Board where the talent of other downtrodden nations of Pakistan is brutally discouraged. Down with PCB and Down with Pakistan cricket Team.

User | 14 years ago | Reply start counting not from bottom to up, come from top to down, see who is sitting on the top ruling your country.. how can one think of honesty and any lower level..

Zulqurnan | 14 years ago | Reply @Tani: You cant make prediction before the actual match. Wait and see and please don't assume anything...

pinkrickshaw | 14 years ago | Reply I hope Ijaz Butt really loses it and puts a 2-year disciplinary ban on Afridi. It will surely incite protests all over the country and finally help us get rid of Ijaz Butt.

Azeem | 14 years ago | Reply Ijaz Butt, chairman, COO, CFO, Director General, Chairman of Selectors, all other selectoral posts, chairman disciplinary committee, all other posts of disciplinary committee, groundsman, legal head, chowkidar, coach, manager, physio.....the man holds all the posts at once.

Tani | 14 years ago | Reply Prediction: Team Pakistan will loose the series with SA and there won't be alot of matches they win in this series. Reason: Infighting in the team, no team spirit and no motivation to play for the the country. End of Story.

hasan adeel | 14 years ago | Reply It's not the first time in the history of in all matters.As a captain,it's right to express his opinion in the whole media.
