Published July 5, 2008

KARACHI, July 4: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf said the board would accept the decision of the honourable high court which on Friday suspended an 18-month ban imposed on the fast bowler till a final decision.

“The Lahore High Court has only given a stay order against the ban, so let the final decision come. I would not like to speak much on the decision since the case is subjuduce,” the chairman said at a press conference here on Friday.

Regarding the maverick pacer’s eligibility to play for Pakistan, the chairman said there were many ifs and buts, but the board would accept the court’s decision as of now.—M.Y
