Karachi : The Sindh High Court (SHC) has suspended the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) disciplinary hearing against retired captain Shahid Afridi. The hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.
Afridi’s lawyer Syed Ali Zafar told The Associated Press that SHC has also summoned officials of the PCB on Thursday.
Afridi filed a petition at SHC on Tuesday against the PCB’s decision to suspend his central contract and revoke his No Objection Certificates which stopped him from playing abroad.
Speaking to AFP earlier he said, “I have taken a plea that the show-cause notice served on me is illegal and the ban on me playing abroad should be lifted and I hope justice will be done.”
Court officials said proceedings on Afridi’s case began immediately under a two-member bench of chief justice Musheer Alam and Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi..
