Lahore HC suspends ban on Shoaib, allows him to play

In a major relief to Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar, the Lahore High Court suspended the 18-month ban imposed on Shoaib Akhtar, and ruled that Shoaib can play in any form of the game until further court orders. However, the Rs. 70 lakh fine imposed on Shoaib will stay. The PCB has refused to comment on this issue.
