Rahul Khan Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Shoaib Akhtar has asked the Pakistan board to let him play in the newly formed Twenty20 Indian Premier League. The 32-year-old fast bowler was at a disciplinary hearing into his clash with Mohammad Asif that saw him sent home from the ICC World Twenty20. "I have got a written offer and I am keen to take part," said Shoaib, who should learn his fate next week. The International Cricket Council has endorsed the league, which is different to the breakaway Indian Cricket League. The controversial Shoaib, who had a two-year drugs ban overturned on appeal last year, has also been charged with four other counts of misconduct. PCB officials revealed that a decision on Akhtar's future after they have considered documents from the fast bowler's lawyer. Akhtar rejected an offer to play in the ICL, to preserve his hopes of an international return. Pakistan officials said they would not consider players who participated in the rebel event, but the IPL has the support of the Australian, England, South African and Pakistan boards. "The IPL is an official tournament and has good money," he said. "The advantage is whenever it is held it will not clash with my national commitments."

Gambit Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 If Hayden and him happen to be in the same IPL game, I'd pay good money to watch dressing room antics rather than the actual game. :hysterical:
Bumper Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 We've heard of batsmen asking for bowlers to hit around in the nets. This is the first time, a bowler is gonna ask for fellow bowlers to hit around. If Hayden and him happen to be in the same IPL game, I'd pay good money to watch dressing room antics rather than the actual game. He just needs to rile up Symonds once. He will get a true "Casino Royale" treatment. Dont know how much he's left with after all the dope abuse.:haha:
Chaos Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 If Hayden and him happen to be in the same IPL game' date=' I'd pay good money to watch dressing room antics rather than the actual game. :hysterical:[/quote'] Hayden will Rip shoaib, the fake steriod monkey.
itduzz Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Akhtar will destroy Hayden like he did in Aus tour in 2004 when Hayden was his bunny
Rahul Khan Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 Akhtar will destroy Hayden like he did in Aus tour in 2004 when Hayden was his bunny good to know that...so Hayden's noose-rope is in the hands of Pindi Express!!!:D
Ram Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Its a disgrace that such a perennial trouble maker is still allowed to play cricket. I am not able to recollect one form of disciplinary offense that this guy hasnt indulged in, yet he continues to play cricket. The last straw would be him recalled into the Pak team if they lose this series to S.Africa, which in all probability will happen.
