Retired cricket star Shahid Afridi will not appear as summoned before a Pakistani disciplinary committee tomorrow to face charges of violating a code of conduct, his lawyer said yesterday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told Afridi to appear before a three-man disciplinary committee after the former one-day captain abruptly decided to retire from international cricket last week.
"The process followed by the PCB does not conform with the law as even under Pakistan's constitution there is a right given to everyone to be heard before a case is decided," Afridi's lawyer Syed Ali Zafar told a news conference.
The PCB said Afridi violated the players' code of conduct in announcing his retirement and suspended his central contract and revoked all no-objection certificates (NOCs) that would have allowed him to play abroad.
The move prevents him from playing for Hampshire in the Twenty20 league in England and in next month's Sri Lankan Premier League.
