Whacky Pakis?

Question

First Asif is caught on the bad stuff again and now Shoaib is coming back after being banned for five years? Why is the PCB so soft on it's players? Should the ICC step in and ban the Pakis?

Answer 1

yar i also cant understand.. i think PCB think that they have limited talent in country and they retain them at any cost.. Afridi example is quite clear.. with zero performance as compare to other senior players of world(10+ years) he stay in the team..

Answer 2

I think ICC need to take a firm stand. Other nations ban their players for such things, why does PCB think it is special? So they may not be on top of the world just now. Does cheating  by using druggy players make them feel any better? I think not.

Answer 3

well i dun think so!!

Answer 4

ICC should step in

Answer 5

Much as I detest drugs and cheating, Asif can be banned only if he was caught using drugs during a test or ODI.  IPL is still not part of ICC. Technically he was not caught cheating during an official game.  So I do not think he can be banned....yet

Answer 6

ICC should step in every matter, which relates to cricket and the relevant cricketing boards are not doing enough, or not implementing the laws of the game or other protocols (like WADA)

Answer 7

ICC should not

Answer 8

I don't think the rest of the team should be punished for 2 idiots mistakes.

i'm South African and I don't think any team deserves to be banned.

Answer 9

The decision to ban Shoaib Aktar was an internal matter of PCB and as such ICC cannot interfere in the same as he was banned not for violating any ICC code of conduct.  However, if PCB take a soft stand against Asif, ICC can and should defenitely interfere
