**PCB to investigate allegations of misconduct against Pak players **
By our correspondent
KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has launched a full-scale inquiry into serious allegations of misconduct against four members of the Pakistan team during their stay in Johannesburg in the World Cup.
A PCB spokesman confirmed that on the instructions of Chairman Lt.General Tauqir Zia contacts had been made with the International Cricket Council (ICC), its Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) and the hotel management where the Pakistan team stayed in Johannesburg.
"The contact has been made because we have received disturbing reports from sources that some players had breached a strict tour guideline relating to wives and girlfriends being in the rooms of the players during the tournament.
“The Sunday Times” has reported that four players entertained female company in the days leading up to Pakistan’s opening game against Australia. All four played in the match which Pakistan lost and three are among the best-known names in cricket.
The newspaper has reported that according to the ICC register for visitors maintained at the team hotels in the tournament, one cricketer, a bowler, entertained a female guest on each of the two days before the Australia match. On one occasion the register shows that she checked in at 10.00pm and checked out at 7.30am.
Another female guest visited a player on six different days. Three of the four players entertained female company on the evening of the defeat by Australia.
The spokesman said that the PCB had been informed of the misconduct by the players but had kept quiet during the tournament and no immediate action was then taken because of the seriousness and importance of the tour. “Now, since the tour is over, the board is conducting investigations as to why the same players who had agreed on the decision, breached the agreement.”
But he stressed that if after the inquiry was completed it was found out that the newspaper report was false then legal action would be taken against the newspaper and the concerned reporter.
“At the moment the Board believes its players are innocent. But after the inquiry is completed and it is found they are guilty of misconduct then future course of action would be decided.”
He pointed out that prior to the World Cup five top cricketers, in their meeting with the PCB Chairman prior to their departure for South Africa, had agreed that no wives will be allowed during the tour.
“Nevertheless, during the tour, it was brought to the knowledge of the board that some of the senior players had brought their wives and the matter was noted with all seriousness.”
Normally, in Pakistan cricket in such incidents the norm has been to try to push the issue under the mat and protect the players. But this time the present Board, headed by Tauqir Zia, appears to have different thoughts and appear intent on taking action against such misconduct.
One such example is already being implemented with the decision to ban Shahid Afridi from the Sharjah tournament and fine him 50 per cent of his match fees against India for sledging against two Indian players and abusing the umpire.
The PCB spokesman said the Board was dead serious about ensuring that discipline was given top priority by the players.
“It is not a question of a witch hunt against the players because of their poor performances in the World Cup. I can assure you even if they had done well this incident about wives and girlfriends being in the players rooms would have been investigated. As soon as the details are made available, we will proceed with our line of action,” he added.
My guess would that these players are:
Waqar (his wife was there)
Saqlain (his wife was also there)
And the others might be Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi.

I think this is all just crap which is coming out after Pakistan's terrible performence at the WC. These are just rumours and I doubt there is any truth to it.
What a piece of bull crap, this is all bull $hit, and you people are gullabe enough to believe this. Those of you who don't live in the west, should know something about tabloids, they will makeup anything to gain attention, these brits know what they are doing.
Not only they are ruining the careers of these cricketer but also their personal lives. The 3 of the 4 people mentioned are happily married and won't do anything that low but one can expect Shoaib to be involved in these type of scandals.
Just like how Pakistani cricketers were blamed to go to nite clubs the night before the WC final in 99.

Go check and see if any prominent news source have posted this bunch of crap on their websites, not cricinfo or any other official site.
I can see Indians post since they are full with hatred for Pakistani athelets.
This is all crap!
Are you telling me that The News(Jang Group) is not a Prominent website and just a tabloid ?? May be the Guy who wrote this story on The News is also full of hatred of Pakistanis or he is an Indian ??
and Do you mean to say that Spitfire,Lahorimunda are all Indians ??

I think this might be true. Sad but it might be true.
Shoaib Akhter was involved for sure. Waqar YOunis(his wife was their), Azhar Mehmood( maybe), the third i don't know maybe Wasim Akram.
I dought Shahid Afridi would be involved.
Investigation report still has to come out. No one really knows for sure if this is really true or not.
**PCB Stand:
If after the inquiry was completed it was found out that the newspaper report was false then legal action would be taken against the newspaper and the concerned reporter.
"At the moment the Board believes its players are innocent. But after the inquiry is completed and it is found they are guilty of misconduct then future course of action would be decided."**
Correspondent didn't mention his/her name. Chicken!

Are you out of your mind? How sure are you if this is true? 'Cause you have contact with those wh*res?
I, along with PCB, simply wanna know that Chicken Correspondent name of 'The Sunday Times' who came up with this story.
People don't talk about real.

The correspondent who most probably himself was in SA covering the World Cup for The Newspaper. And the way these reporters follow cricketers, it is not very unlikely that He would have spotted those wh*res going into the Cricketers' rooms. Yeah and He is smart that he didn't give his name - He knows what happened to another reporter of Jang, what was his name - Shaheen Sibai ??

Correspondent added his/her story by mentionin' The Sunday Times. And the story has been first reported by The Sunday Times, not The News. In both cases, journalist(The News and The Sunday Times) is a big time Chicken.
Shaheen Shebai, yeah heard of him. His family has been threatened by ISI every other day according to him but he failed to realize importance of his family when he was on the window of American Embassay seekin' for his asylum.
It might be true but i will beleive British Newspapers in case of Shoaib Akhtar and Afridi is married now so i don't think he should do that now though they are all humans...Azhar Mahmood is getting married soon...
Tauqir Zia is investigating this matter himself so let's wait for the results
