Afridi, Younis file appeals against PCB sanctions

Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan have filed official appeals against the punishments handed out to them by the PCB last month. That means that five of the seven players punished by the board following the tour to Australia have now lodged official appeals. Afridi lodged his appeal in the morning in person, while Younis's lawyer sent in the appeal on his behalf.

Afridi, Pakistan's captain for the World Twenty20, was fined Rs. 3 million by the board for tampering with the ball in an ODI against Australia in Perth when he was leading the side. Younis was banned for an indefinite period from playing for Pakistan, on the charge that his presence was harmful to the side.
