Shehzad’s fate in limbo after Sethi goes
LAHORE: The fate of Ahmed Shehzad hangs in the balance as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have yet to announce punishment after the discarded national team opener was found positive in a dope test.
With Najam Sethi resigning as the PCB chairman last week and Prime Minister Imran Khan just announcing nominees for the next board chief election, Shehzad’s case is pending after completion of all procedures.
Shehzad, who opted against challenging the results of the dope test conducted by WADA, now have to wait for the verdict after the new chairman is elected.
In a smart move, Shehzad has hired the services of prominent lawyer and political figure Babar Awan, whose is a PTI member, to raise hopes of a minimum punishment.
