Pakistan former limited overs skipper Shahid Afridi's fine of Rs 4.5 million has been deducted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) from the dues that were to be paid to him for the World Cup and tour to West Indies. The fine was charged by the PCB disciplinary committee for Afridi's breaching various clauses of the central contract and code of conduct.
A private news channel quoted a PCB official as saying that the board had to pay Afridi around Rs 5.5 million out of which we deducted the fine amount in full.
This is the second highest fine amount recovered from a Pakistani player by the board after the record Rs 7 million that were deducted from retired fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar's dues.
The board official said the finance department had also deducted the half a million rupees fine from wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider who was also penalised by the disciplinary committee.
