Lahore Court Removes Ban on Shoaib

Fiery Pakistani fast bowler today got a major reprieve after a Lahore court removed the ban on the fast bowler and reduced the fine amount to Rs. 7 millions. The consequence of this judgement is that Shoaib is fit and eligible for selection to the Pakistan national team. According to sources, the fast bowler has got some serious backing of some senior politicians and this has helped him in getting out of the ban. Whether Akhtar will be selected for the team is still a very big question mark more so because the coach is not too keen to get him on board due to his troubled relations with the team members. But no doubt Shoaib is a very good bowler and if selected he can surely bolster the almost dead Pakistani bowling attack.
