Malik says lifting of ban vindicates that all charges against him were baseless
LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik expressed relief on Saturday over the lifting of a one-year ban following Pakistan's disastrous tour of Australia.
The ban and a fine were imposed in March on the recommendations of a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) committee, which was set up to investigate on and off field problems on the tour between December-February.
But a one-man arbitrator, Justice (retired) Irfan Qadir, lifted the ban on Saturday and halved the two million rupee (23,500 dollars) fine.
"I am very happy that with the blessings of Allah my stand has been vindicated and all the baseless charges and allegations have been quashed," Malik, 28, said in a statement.
