shoaib akhtar lawsuit withdrawnPakistan Cricket Board chairman Nasim Ashraf said Monday he had withdrawn a defamation lawsuit against Shoaib Akhtar after the banned fast bowler made a public apology.

The 32-year-old paceman was banned for five years last month for breaching the players’ code of conduct by criticising the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) when it did not offer him a central contract in January. Ashraf and the PCB sued him for three million dollars after Akhtar alleged in an interview the day after the ban that the board chief had demanded payments from the bowler’s contract to play in an Indian tournament.

Ashraf said that his honour was vindicated after Akhtar apologised publicly and retracted his baseless allegations.
