Pakistan senators demand longer Afridi ban




Balo news report:- Pakistan's parliament says Shahid Afridi should be banned from the national team for three to four international series after being found guilty of ball tampering.

According to the channel, Afridi was banned for two Twenty20 games for biting the ball during the final One Day International against Australia last month.

At a meeting of a parliamentary sports committee on Monday, Senator Tariq Azeem told Pakistan Cricket Board officials that Afridi had besmirched the country's reputation and should be further punished.

"If he bites the ball like an apple there's lots of problems behind it," Senator Haroon Akhtar told PCB chairman Ijaz Butt during a meeting of Upper House committee on Sports.

Afridi missed one Twenty20 international against Australia, and will be out for the first encounter against England on Feb. 20 at Dubai.

However Butt told the committee that it cannot punish Afridi, in accordance with International Cricket Council standards.
