Re: Breaking News: Knee injury could end Shoaib's World Cup dream
I was thinking same. Since his drug level was very high, and may not cleared up so fast, so PCB and he himself fear a life ban so may have opted out of WC.
Additionally, since he always had strained relations with Inzi and Bob Wooler (both baryani dushmuns), most probably these two individuals will relinguish their respective positions after WC, so Shoaib may come back after WC and may like to play for few more years.
