I could have sued PCB for revealing warts: Shoaib
Friday, 10 July 2009
Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said he considered suing the Pakistan cricket management for revealing, in a public statement, the skin ailment that forced him to miss last month's World Twenty20. The PCB's statement on his fitness ahead of the tournament in England said Akhtar had been diagnosed with genital viral warts; he was subsequently removed from the squad.
"I kept quiet because I have a central contract and didn't want to offend the PCB, but I could have sued the Pakistan team management," Akhtar said in a TV programme on Express News. "I didn't want the Pakistan team to suffer because my news is published all over the world."
"There's still three-four good years left in me," he said. "I am the fastest bowler in history and it's not possible for everyone to bowl at 150 kph." -Cricinfo
