PCB allows Akhtar to play for Surrey

[Bumper]

7 million rupees for 4 overs, works out to roughly, 1.75 million per over. Considering the possible post match hospitalization expenses, the bill runs north of 3 million rupees per over, easily. In this age of IPL, when teenagers are making a few $100Ks per annum, paying $3M to bowl an over, sounds like an awfully bad deal for Shoaib. If I were Akhtar, I'd seriously think about retiring.

how long is the IPL contract?

[MundaPakistani]

Board u-turns under Ashraf Mushtaq Ahmed: Soon after coming to power, sacked Mushtaq as assistant coach, citing Justice Qayyum report that pointed to his links with match-fixing. Re-hired him soon after for World Cup 2007 General staff: Sacked 80 PCB staff, and then promptly re-hired them Doping tribunal: Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif were banned after they were found guilty of using steroids, only for the decision to be overturned within a month despite both admitting usage, after an appellate tribunal was set up Constitution: Promised PCB's constitution would be ready within a month of his appointment. Changed the date three times, and kept on extending it until it was finally ready in January 2008, some 14 months after the original promise Resignation: Handed in his resignation during World Cup 2007, withdrew it about a week later after it was rejected by the patron Foreign coach: Said specifically after World Cup 2007 in a press conference that no foreign coach would be appointed for Pakistan. Appointed Geoff Lawson a few months later Younis Khan: Said, after Younis Khan had turned down the captaincy, that he would not be made captain again. Yet for Pakistan's tour to India in end-2007, personally appointed Younis vice-captain - he became captain when Shoaib Malik got injured. ICL: Announced no player in the ICL would be allowed to play for Pakistan or in Pakistan domestic cricket. Except Inzamam-ul-Haq, who was allowed to play a one-off Test as farewell and reportedly given a Rs 1 crore golden handshake for it ICL, mark II: Announced Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and Mushtaq would not be given NOCs to play county cricket because of their ICL links. Yet both were given one soon after ICL, mark III: Promised Mohammad Yousuf that he would play in the IPL, having paid him to come out of his ICL contract. Currently the matter is stuck in legal limbo forcing Yousuf to miss the first season of both leagues Shoaib Akhtar: The board stated publicly that Shoaib didn't have to pay any fine in order play in the Champions Trophy, only to then say three days later that actually he does

Three years to the best of my knowledge!

Do you think Ashraf's resignation is good for Pak cricket or it doesn't matter whoever is the board's head to the cricket health in the country?

just look at the u turns....and these are JUST the u turns and do NOT include other blunders like the Faisal Iqbal issue.

[MundaPakistani]

ahh 3 years is too long...but if he doesn't pay the fine(which he shouldn't) and PCB don't select him then IPL won't select him either. Really hope he goes to ICL and makes some good money there.

[Guest dada_rocks]

Seriously what crime have we done to get neighbours like this.. Unforutnately due to asian block solidarity we will have to take all this in stride.

And who told you that?

[MundaPakistani]

And who told you that?

he needs a clearance from the PAK board to play in the IPL. It would have been nice if the important players like Younis , Misbah, and Akhtar had joined the ICL instead...really a shame that they didn't.
