Rawalpindi Express Derailed

World fastest bowler Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar was banned for 5 years by Pakistan Cricket Board.

Akhtar fondly called Rawalpindi Express was derailed and now cannot play for Pakistan in Pakistan or anywhere in the world. He was banned for gross misconduct and violations of code of conduct, the ban will end the international career of the 32 years old speedstar which is plagued by controversies and injuries.

Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar today made it clear that he will take legal course to overturn the five year ban imposed on him by Pakistan Cricket Board.

He said " I have always given my best for the country and the national team. I do not accept this ban. It is a harsh and unfair decision as far as I am concerned."

"I am shocked at the decision I was expecting from them to be lenient,because I apologised for my actions before the disciplinary commitee today."

" I will go to the court against the ban, I have always given 100 percent for the country,how can they accuse me of being a damaging infuence on the team?
