Shoaib given permission to play for Surrey
REUTERS - The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has given pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar permission to play for English county Surrey for the rest of the season.
"I have got permission from the board and I am really looking forward to playing for Surrey. It will allow me to get back into some rhythm," Shoaib told Reuters.
The PCB has served a legal notice on the paceman to pay a fine of seven million rupees ($247,600) after his five-year ban was cut to 18 months. The player had been suspended for disciplinary reasons.
