Karachi: Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar yesterday reportedly won a long running legal battle against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the recovery of seven million rupees which were deducted from his earnings as penalty imposed on him by an appellate tribunal for indiscipline.

In October 2007 when Nasim Ashraf was Chairman of the PCB, a disciplinary committee had banned Akhtar for 13 matches and fined him 3.4 million rupees for hitting teammate, Muhammad Asif with a bat before the World T20 Cup in South Africa.
