Shoaib Akhtar’s troubles continued with the Indian Premier League deciding that he won’t be allowed to feature in its tournament till the end of his five-year ban or until his ban is lifted. This is a pure political decision by IPL chairman and shows how hypocrite he is. Its very funny to hear that a man of numbers and money is talking about cricket moral values and discipline. Anyhow this is not a correct decision and IPL is not governing by PCB or ICC, If IPL has any law which prevents any player for playing in IPL because he has banned by his board then it is fine, otherwise i think that this decision is only a stunt for getting cheap publicity. I hope that new Pakistani government will take action to dismiss current Pakistani board and revert this decision. This will only help Cricket in Pakistan.

I think it is the right decision. It should bring Shoaib back to his senses.
I agreed that he should be punished because of his behavior but don’t you think that this punishment is too harsh for him? also he is not in contract with PCB so legally he is not bound to anything but morally he should have to act like a professional cricketer which he is failed to do so.
