Shoaib Malik to remain Pak captain, says PCB chairman

Lahore, Dec 14: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Nasim Ashraf has said that Shoaib Malik will remain as captain for Test and ODI cricket team for further one year.

Ashraf also said that all players have been banned for writing columns in the print media.

Saving two Test matches against India was a good omen, however, we have to work on mental fitness of our players, The News quoted him, as saying.

Commenting on the performance of pacer Mohammad Asif, he said that Asif would be available to the team within six weeks.

Nobody is above the game and any player's interest in any other section other than cricket would not be tolerated, said Ashraf, adding that it would be better for Shoaib Akhtar to come and play domestic cricket in Pakistan.
