So bad luck for Shoaib. After pakistan criket board ,BCCI also banned Shoaib in case of partecipating in IPL. They said they will respect the decision taken by PCB. Any player banned by his national cricket board will loss the capability to participate in IPL.

Hello bdsurf!:-)
Welcome to mylot, I hope you will enjoy your stay here!:-)
I think that PCB has made a lot of wrong decisions in recent past and have spoiled a number of players. But, Shoaib has been very costly for Pakistan to keep. It's beyond doubt that he has made Pakistan win in many matches but it's also true that he got more attention than he deserved. He has become symbol of glamor than a true player, not to mention his being frequently unfit and being not available to team when he was most required.
Then, there is whole other issues for which he was banned. I won't go into them but I think Pakistan side is better off without him. But, I do feel for other players like Razaq not being selected while other less deserving are playing. Anyway, he still played in ICL!
Shoaib seems to have taken another path, and he will be starring in a couple of films. I wish him best!
