Shaharyar met Shoaib at the PCB headquarters after receiving the report of the medical inquiry commission about the nature of injury sustained by the bowler during the Pindi Test and assured him that the Board would give him an opportunity to explain his conduct before initiating any action. "The basic objective of the meeting was to give Shoaib Akhtar a complete background of the situation that led to the appointment of the Medical Commission as also related cricketing issues," Shaharyar said in a press release after the meeting. "Shoaib Akhtar was assured that the PCB would be fair to him and that he would be given every opportunity to explain his conduct." The PCB chief's meeting with the player is being seen as an attempt by the Board to put an end to the raging controversy. Shaharyar, in turn, asked Shoaib not to address a press conference or make public statements, which the fast bowler obliged by declining to speak to the media soon after the meeting. in-depth coverage > India-Pakistan Cricket Series 2004 > |
