LHC summons Shoaib Akhtar next month


Lahore High Court on Monday summoned the fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar to appear before the court to submit his reply in connection with an application of Pakistan Cricket Board.

PCB in its application prayed the LHC to issue a direction to the fast bowler that he must pay fine of rupees seven millions which was imposed on him by the Appellate Tribunal (AT) of PCB on the charges of misconduct.

PCB's AT had also banned Shoaib for playing cricket till 18 months, however, he challenged this decision in the LHC and the court allowed him to play while the payment of fine was upheld.

PCB last month after the court's decision asked Shoaib to pay fine but he argued that he would pay after the final decision of the court on his petition in which he challenged the AT's decision so PCB filed an application in the LHC.

Chief Justice of LHC on Monday ordered to serve notice to the respondent fast bowler to appear before the court on October 3 next.
