Yousuf and Younis banned from cricket INDEFINITELY by PCB

The Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday handed out a very harsh punishment to Mohammed Yousuf and Younis Khan  for the triple whitewashing that Pakistan received at the hands of Australia in the series Down Under. Yousuf and Younis have been banned for an indefinite period with the reason that their infighting was responsible in Pakistan's abysmal performance. Other players to have been punished are:


1. Rana Naved-ul-Hasan ( 1year ban and Rs 20 lakh fine)
2. Shoib Malik ( 1year ban and Rs 20 lakh fine)
3. Shahid "hungry" Afridi ( Rs 30 lakh fine)
4. Kamran Akmal ( Rs 30 lakh fine) and
5. Omar Akmal( Rs 20 lakh fine)


This ruling by the PCB has left me in splits. I am in no way sympathetic to the Pakistani players. But this decision  made me laugh no end. It is no secret that Pakistanis practice extremism in everyday life blowing up things in their own country and outside as well. But they have now extended their extremism to sports as well. I mean come on. A life ban? That too to two of their frontline batsmen? I wonder who will play for Pakistan now? It certainly makes the job of other teams to defeat Pakistan. So this is what I will say to the PCB: THANK YOU
