Shoaib Akhtar: New Year Fresh Controversy

I cannot think of any other cricket player who is so much related to controversy like Shoaib Akhtar. It seems that he is did a mind to be in the limelight of controversy all the time. This time, his name has again, but I thing that Pakistan cricket board officials have more to do than him. Shoaib Akhtar has got a new contract to play for Pakistan national team and this matter has annoyed many of the former top players.

Cricket Next reported:

Former players and cricket officials have openly criticized the PCB for giving Akhtar a contract in the ‘A’ category.

Former captain and wicket-keeper Rashid Latif has said that the PCB has destroyed discipline by awarding a central contract to Akhtar.

“The PCB has violated the merit system while contracting the players,” the Nation quoted Latif, as saying.

“If the PCB has made any criteria for selecting the players for contract then it should be publicised,” he added.
