After a clean sweep suffered in Australia in all the three formats of the game, the furious Pakistan Cricket Board has given a lifetime ban to the Captain Mohammad Yousuf and Younus Khan.

Moreover, the PCB has also imposed a one-year ban on Shoaib Malik and Rana Naved citing the reasons of misbehaviour and no cooperation with the coach, captain and team management.

While the captain of the team and Younus Khan have been banned from all the formats of the game, the Akmal brothers - Kamran and Umar Akmal along with Shahid Afridi have been put on a six month probation period.

The PCB has claimed that the two most experienced players in the Pakistani team were putting bad influence on the rest of the team. The decision comes just before the Team management will have to announce the line-up for the T20 world cup which will start in April.

Notably, Pakistan will be the defending champions and with these strict disciplinary actions, the line-up may see many new faces. The Akmal brothers, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, and Rana Naved will be fined to the tune of Rs.
2-3 million.
