PCB to take action over Afridi statements

ISLAMABAD, May 9 (AP): The Pakistan Cricket Board says it will take action against Shahid Afridi over the one-day and Twenty20 captain's public statements about differences within team management. The PCB says in a statement Monday that Afridi has violated its code of conduct and "appropriate action will be taken after the submission of the tour report at the conclusion of the (West Indies) tour." Afridi returned home Sunday after leading Pakistan to a 3-2 victory against the West Indies in the one-day series. He told reporters that differences between the team management were not those "which could not be resolved, but everyone should do his job and need not interfere in other's work." Pakistan won the first three one-dayers, but lost the remaining two including a 10-wicket defeat in the final ODI.
