Karachi, July 14: The Pakistan Cricket Board has returned the money it had deducted from the funds of four players after they were fined heavily earlier this year for indiscipline during the disastrous tour of Australia.
According to details, PCB’s finance department in a show of great urgency returned the fine amount of Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal and Shoaib Malik, who were penalised in March by the board’s inquiry committee set up to probe the national team’s poor show in Australia.
Afridi abnd Kamran were fined three million rupees, while Umar and Malik were penalised two million each.
The PCB inquiry committee even imposed a one-year ban on Malik for indiscipline during the tour but the board’s appeal’s commissioner later cleared him of any wrongdoing, thereby paving the way for the former captain’s return to the national team.
