Shoaib to play in IPL, as PCB suspends ban for one month

The hectic back-door diplomatic talks between the BCCI and PCB finally brought some good news for speedster Shoaib Akhtar. The Appellate Tribunal suspended the 5-year ban imposed on Shoaib Akhtar for one month. The case will be taken up again on June 3.

The suspension of the ban means Shoaib now can play in the IPL. He was signed by SRK's Kolkata Knight Riders. Shoaib's presence is expected to boost the morale of Knight Riders, that lost their fourth successive match yesterday.
