Karachi: Pakistan Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi has lodged an appeal against a heavy fine, imposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board for the ball-tampering charge. He had handed the letter to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) Wasim Bari on the eve of the Pakistan Day T20 Cup in Lahore.
"I have already handed the letter to the Wasim Bari[PCB COO], in which I have written that why I was penalised twice in one charge and appealed to waive my fine," Afridi told APNA NEWS TV.
The PCB had implemented the recommendations of an inquiry committee formed to evaluate Pakistan’s dismal performance against Australia in December and January. And for the shocking act[ball-tampering] of Afridi, which had brought the game and country into disrepute, he was fined Rupees Three Million along with a warning issued by the Chairman PCB Ejaz Butt. He is also on a six month probation, during which his conduct will be strictly monitored.
But after the detailed discussion with the concern, the PCB appointed Afridi as captain for the ICC World Twenty20, scheduled to take place in the West Indies next month.
