KARACHI, April 4 (Reuters) - Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar filed an appeal with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday against the five-year ban imposed on him for six counts of indiscipline.
"I have filed my appeal and followed the procedures of the board. I have respect for the law and the board rules and the Chairman," Shoaib told reporters at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore.
The PCB's chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmi told a press conference in Lahore that an appellate tribunal would be formed soon to hear the appeal.
"The tribunal will reach a decision based on facts not because of any politics," he said.
Shoaib's lawyer, Azeem Danyal, said the ban was illegal and unconstitutional and they were confident of having it removed.
"We have asked the board to give us a copy of the detailed judgement of the disciplinary committee by Monday after which we can prepare our case," he said.MORE DETAILS>>
