Shoaib Akhtar can play outside Pakistan


ast bowler Shoaib Akhtar was cleared Wednesday to resume his career outside the country.

Chairman appellate committee Justice (Rtd) Aftab Farrukh told a news conference that Shoaib could not play cricket for five years within Pakistan and for the national team.

The fast bowler however has not been banned to play cricket outside Pakistan and he could play in the IPL.

He said the disciplinary committee has only imposed ban on him over playing in Pakistan. The committee chairman further said that the fast bowler would not be selected for the national team for five years.

The paceman made an unconditional apology to the tribunal and pledged to mend his ways.

Will the ban end cricket career of Shoaib?
