LAHORE: Troubled fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar will remain barred from all Pakistani cricket until he pays an outstanding fine, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) legal adviser said yesterday.
The 33-year-old was not named in any of the 16 teams for Pakistan's inaugural Twenty20 competition, and will not be considered for next month's four-nation T20 tournament in Canada if he does not play the October 4 to 8 domestic event.
Akhtar, who is currently playing for English county side Surrey, owes seven million rupees ($100,000) for criticising the PCB over its failure to award him a central contract.
He was originally banned for five years but the penalty was eventually reduced to a fine by an appeals commission and the Lahore high court.
