"Afridi vs pcb"lets see who is win the match?suicide attack itself khan said...

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.”
The agitated all-rounder further lamented that the PCB’s stance (of revoking the NOCs) has prevented him from representing Hampshire in the ongoing English Twenty20 domestic competition as well as the Sri Lankan Premier League which is set to begin next month.“Cricket is my bread and butter and as a professional cricketer I’m entitled to earn my living from the sport. But how can one expect to get proper justice when the committee consists of board employees? I can’t understand this process adopted by the PCB,” he complained.Afridi revealed that his future depends on the outcome of the inquiry. “I have never really bothered about playing or captaincy. In my career I have played under many captains, so even if someone like Umar Akmal is made captain I’ll play under him.”
Afridi went to court on Tuesday, demanding that the sanctions be overturned. The court adjourned a PCB disciplinary committee meeting set for Wednesday and summoned PCB officials to appear in court Thursday.“I don’t know why Pakistan cricket keeps inflicting suicide attacks on itself which are damaging for the game in a country already reeling under problems.”Khan, who led Pakistan to their only World Cup title in 1992 and now heads his own political party Tehreek-e-Insaaf, blamed the saga on a lack of unaccountability among the PCB.“The reason why Pakistan cricket remains in turmoil is because there is no stability, no institutionalism in decision making and because the head of the board is appointed by the president of Pakistan and is not accountable,” he said.Khan said that only Pakistan opposes a proposed amendment to the constitution of the International Cricket Council (ICC) that would suspend members appointed by government.“Because there is government involvement in our cricket, the PCB is opposing the proposed change in the ICC constitution. If the change comes about it will make the PCB a proper institution,” said Khan.He said frequent changes in the captaincy have destabilised the team.

Afridi's carrrer dark now ? and Political pressure on PCB

Thousands of Afridi’s fans greeted their World Cup captain as he arrived late Sunday at Karachi with some supporters even raising him on their shoulders.
Afridi is due to appear before a disciplinary committee Wednesday after the allrounder criticized top PCB officials, and said he would retire. The board responded by canceling his central contract and revoking the paperwork which enables him to play county cricket in England for Hampshire.Afridi said he would hold a news conference in Karachi on Monday afternoon and also reveal his future plans.Under the terms of a central contract, a Pakistan player is bound not to violate the PCB’s code of conduct, even after he announces his retirement. It is also mandatory for every player to get a No Objection Certificate from the board if he wishes to compete in any cricketing event abroad.The committee will hold its proceedings in camera and no outsider will be allowed to take part.“It appears that the PCB has already made up its mind and has come to the conclusion that Mr. Shahid Afridi is ‘guilty’,” Ali said in the letter, adding that “…the disciplinary proceeding is in fact a sham.”Ali also said the board had no legal right to suspend the central contract or revoke the No Objection Certificates and said it could be challenged “in a court of law.”Afridi’s lawyer was also unhappy with the proceedings behind held closed doors, arguing that the board “has no right to impose an embargo on the right of our client to legal representation.”The lawyer said that Afridi wanted to avoid any confrontation with the board and just wanted to answer the case against him.Afridi’s relations with the PCB became strained soon after he returned home following Pakistan’s 3-2 victory over the West Indies in an ODI series during April and May.Afridi accused team management of interfering in his job as captain, prompting PCB chairman Ijaz Butt to name Misbah-ul-Haq as the skipper for a two-match series against Ireland. Afridi subsequently pulled out of the squad for the Ireland series, which Pakistan won 2-0, saying that his father was ill.The turning point came when Afridi criticized the PCB officials, including one of the selectors Muhammad Ilyas, and then announced he was retiring from international cricket in protest. However, the enigmatic allrounder also said that if the present board setup was to change he might return.Afridi gained the support of a number of parliamentarians, while Geo Television reported on Saturday that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had telephoned Afridi in London.The PCB said later that it was concerned about outside interference in Afridi’s disciplinary case, given the reactions in Pakistan.“It is disappointing that despite Afridi has pleaded guilty to the offenses, some political functionaries are extending their support with a view to influencing the disciplinary process being followed by PCB,” Butt said in a statement.
Butt warned of an attempt “by some forces to prevent the board from implementing the code of conduct, and their act may well damage Pakistan cricket, if they continue to lend support to Afridi and exert undue pressure on PCB for their ‘non-cricketing’ interests.”Afridi was due to arrive in Karachi later Sunday and a large number of his supporters are expected to meet him at Quaid-e-Azam International Airport. In an official statement issued on Sunday evening, the cricket board states: “The PCB notes with great concern that an internal disciplinary action against Shahid Afridi is being converted into a political issue.
“A number of political functionaries are interfering in what is essentially an internal disciplinary matter of the PCB.The PCB and Afridi are at the loggerheads after the board had removed him from captaincy while announcing the one-day squad for the Ireland series.Afridi did not utter a word when he was removed from the captaincy but after Pakistan won the series against Ireland under the leadership of Misbah-ul-Haq, he blasted the PCB management and announced retirement from international cricket.

The Pakistan Cricket Board, while not responding to former captain Shahid Afridi’s request of re-issuance of NOC required to play for English county Hampshire, on Thursday formed a three-member disciplinary committee headed by Sultan Rana which will hear a disciplinary case against the all-rounder from June 8. “After reviewing the reply from Shahid Afridi, dated 1st June 2011, to PCB’s show-cause notice, the PCB has informed Shahid Afridi about the disciplinary process that will be followed from hereon,” a PCB spokesman said.“A Disciplinary Committee comprising of the following has been formed in accordance with PCB’s Conduct of Disciplinary Proceedings Policy 2007: Mr. Sultan Rana, Director Domestic Cricket (Chairman), Mr. Shafiq Ahmed, G.M Domestic Cricket (Member), Mr. Usman Wahla, Manager International Cricket (Member), Mr. Taffazul Rizvi, Legal Advisor PCB will assist the Committee.“The committee has asked Afridi to appear before it on June 8 at 3.00p.m at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The committee is empowered to issue notices to parties to appear at the hearing, to frame charges, record evidences, hear arguments and announce order in writing as soon as possible. The proceedings will be conducted in camera and no outsider will be allowed to attend.“But I think people need to understand that this is purely a disciplinary issue. As the body managing cricket in the country, we are duty-bound to maintain discipline at all levels. We will ensure that Shahid is given every opportunity to express and defend himself and as such the disciplinary process has been clearly spelt out to avoid any ambiguities,” KARACHI: Dumped captain Shahid Afridi has called in the lawyers in a bid to secure Pakistani permission to play county cricket in England that was denied amid a public slanging match, an official said on Friday.“We have received a letter from legal firm Mandviwalla and Zafar Associates on behalf of Afridi and as per the rules we forwarded it to the disciplinary committee,” said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesman Nadeem Sarwar.He had been sacked as one-day captain last month after publicly criticising coach Waqar Younis for allegedly inappropriate meddling in team selection.Afridi has since confessed to breaching the code of conduct and the letter on Friday outlined his contributions during his 15-year career.“Afridi is a national hero and has been revered throughout his career, which started as a 16-year-old boy.
“It was in recognition of his services that Afridi was made captain of the team last year and he guided Pakistan to the World Cup 2011 semi-final,” said the letter.“Revoking all his NOCs is an attempt to restrain him from financial gains. Afridi should be allowed to play county cricket,” it added.Afridi has also received political support from Interior Minister Rehman Malik and Sports Minister Shaukatullah Khan promising to help.Local media reports said President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani have asked the sports ministry to submit an independent report on the affair.
