PCB relents, drops defamation case against Shoaib

After suspending the ban on Shoaib Akhtar for a month and allowing him to play in the IPL, the PCB has taken a step further and decided not to go with the defamation case against the speedster. The back-door diplomacy may bring more good news for Shoaib Akhtar in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar has arrived in India today. He joined the Kolkata Knight Riders team and is expected to play in the next match. The Kolkata Knight Riders, which already lost 4 successive matches in a row, got a moral booster with the arrival of Shoaib Akhtar.
