Afridi, who was flanked by his lawyers Syed Ali Zafar and Mahmood Mandviwalla at a crowded press conference at the Karachi Press Club here on Monday, reiterated that he has been harshly treated by the PCB which not only suspended the flamboyant all-rounder’s central contract but also revoked all his no-objection certificates (NOCs) to prevent him from fulfilling his county and league commitments.Afridi, who abruptly announced his retirement from international cricket on May 30 in protest against the PCB’s attitude, has been summoned to Lahore on Wednesday to appear before the three-man disciplinary committee consisting of Shafiq Ahmed, Sultan Rana and Usman Wahla.However, his lawyer Ali Zafar made it clear that unless the hearing is conducted in an atmosphere of transparency and impartiality, his client will not appear before the committee.Afridi, who received a tumultuous welcome on arrival here from London on Sunday night, said the PCB’s decision against him was totally one-sided and biased after he voiced his differences with national coach Waqar Younis upon returning from the Caribbean which later cost him the captaincy of the limited-overs squad.“The PCB chairman [Ijaz Butt] took the decision [to punish Afridi] based on whatever the [Pakistan team] management told him. He should have given me a chance to explain my views over the happenings in the West Indies series,” Afridi stated. “I still maintain that I won’t play as long as the current PCB set-up exists. I have taken a stand on grounds of morality because senior players should be respected.“The unreasonable attitude [of PCB officials] is against the norms. Today I’m suffering for being honest. Tomorrow it could be the turn of other players to feel the same since a lot of seniors also feel humiliated by the PCB’s treatment, but they can’t stand up and fight because they are prevented by clauses in central contracts. But for me personal honour comes first and that is the ultimate thing in my life.”
