Malik banned for
one Test |
May 2nd
2005 , LAHORE:
Pakistan
Cricket Board has banned all-rounder Shoaib
Malik for one test and fined 75% of his match
fee of the first two one-day internationals to
be played in West Indies.
The punishment means that Malik will not be
playing the first test the team will play at
Barbados during the tour of West Indies. He has
also been fined 75 percent of two one day
matches of the three match series.
The action was taken on the recommendations of
an inquiry committee comprising Haroon Rashid,
Shafiq Ahmed Papa and Asghar Ali Hider after the
all rounder who captained Sialkot Stallions
openly confessed to a T.V commentator for
deliberately throwing a match of Twenty-20
Cricket Cup last week against Karachi Zebras.
Malik who appeared before the committee and
recorded his statement gave evidence and
admitted for losing the match deliberately from
a winning position. He said Inquiry Committee
took serious note of Malik’s action which
damaged Pakistan’s cricketing image and showing
disrespect to the large crowd by manipulating
the result of the match.
The Committee took into account that Malik
publicly apologized for his action and that he
had an unblemished record of conduct during his
career, he added. He said it also recognized
that Malik’s action was not part of any
match-fixing with no financial implications but
an immature and misplaced attempt to express his
discontent.
The spokesman said taking all factors into
consideration, the Inquiry Committee made its
recommendations to the PCB Chairman and to the
PCB’s ad-hoc committee which met here on Monday
invoked the penalties.
