As pretty much expected. Malik and Akmal Brothers are in the list. Not sure why Rana is in the list. Perhaps he was the hidden Khalifa :D.

Australia debacle: Malik, Naveed may face ban

LAHORE: Inquiry Committee has completed its investigations on Pakistan cricket team’s defeat in Australia and recommended ban on former captain Shoaib Malik and pace bowler Rana Naveed-ul-Hasan.

The committee, headed by PCB chief operating officer Wasim Bari, was investigating the Pakistan team’s defeat in Australia.

It has handed over its report to chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Ijaz Butt.

The committee also recommended action against Shahid Afridi on ball tampering and suggested action against Kamran Akmal and his brother Umar Akmal for violation of discipline and giving statements to media.

What... Malik and Akmal. I'm shocked.

Ban Malik and Rana and sever penalties for Afridi and Akmal bros to teach others a lesson.

^ was it Naveed whom Yousuf talked about someone who was dropped from test and causing problems in the dressing room? :hmmm: Anyway, in my opinion all these idiots should be banned from the team including Afridi, Malik, Yousuf, Kamran Akmal and Younis. Umar Akmal should be banned for 1 year for pretending to have stiff back.

I am sure they will not do anything against Shoaib Malik ... I dont know who is at his back ..but whoever he is ...has b@ll$ to look after Malik !

that was too less for a 'crime' like that. Not only brought shame to the game but to country as well.

Some one just changed his name from Boom Boom Afridi to 'Bite Bite' Afridi.

i dont care he make a mistake he admitted ........now there should be no actions against him ........speaking of this all inquiry .......i dont think so malik has fixed the match
.....he didnt played in sydney test which was likely to be fixed

It would be great to see Malik not in Pakistani team anymore.

re: March 2010: Rana banned; Oct 2010: Rana's ban lifted by PCB

i just saw local news channel they showing malik is being banned for 1 year from international cricket

The question is will they do ANYTHING at all or follow any recommendations made by the committee? We were expecting BIG changes in PCB after Aust. tour. There's hardly any so far.

re: March 2010: Rana banned; Oct 2010: Rana's ban lifted by PCB

Looks like both Rana and Malik are banned for one year and others are fined.

re: March 2010: Rana banned; Oct 2010: Rana's ban lifted by PCB

^ is the ban for all formats or any particular format?

13

I thought it was a recommendation. Don't think they would implement on it so promptly without giving any reasons/explanations.

14

all formats but can play domestic

Razzaq in contention for title

re: March 2010: Rana banned; Oct 2010: Rana's ban lifted by PCB

banning malik n rana is not the answer to pakistan cricket's problems

17

re: March 2010: Rana banned; Oct 2010: Rana's ban lifted by PCB

With this news, it seems like Razzaq might get the captaincy. I hope not, but it might be the case.
