PCB lift Shoaib ban

Shoaib Malik has been cleared to play international cricket again after the Pakistan Cricket Board lifted his one-year suspension.

Shoaib was banned in March along with Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and former captains Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan following Pakistan's troubled tour of Australia, where they lost all three Tests, five one-day matches and a Twenty20 international.

Also a former captain of Pakistan, Shoaib was this week named in Pakistan's provisional squad for next month's Asia Cup and the following Test and limited-overs series against Australia and England. He will now be available for selection after the PCB confirmed his punishment was overturned.

A report on the PCB website revealed the decision of the one-man appellate tribunal.

The fine imposed on Shoaib in March was halved to one million Pakistan rupees (£8,100).
