Karachi: The Sindh High Court upheld the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to revoke permission for former captain Shahid Afridi to play abroad, adjourning until June 16 on the hearing of his petition against the governing body. A division bench of the SHC headed by Chief Justice Musheer ALam was hearing the case.
Afridi went to court after the PCB punished him for allegedly breaching a code of conduct by announcing his retirement, after he was dumped as one-day captain, and levelling allegations against the board.
It suspended his central contract, revoked all his no-objection certificates (NOCs) which would have allowed him to play in England and Sri Lanka and served him with a show-cause notice last week.
PCB lawyer Tafazzul Rizvi told that the court adjourned the hearing until June 16 and upheld the decision of the PCB.
“The court has adjourned the hearing until June 16 and has upheld the decision of the PCB to revoke NOCs for Shahid Afridi,” PCB lawyer Tafazzul Rizvi told AFP after PCB officials were summoned to the court in Karachi.
