Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi
and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal do
not figure in the latest list of PCB
central contracts. Younis Khan, who
was banned for disciplinary reasons
following a winless tour of Australia in 2009-10 and was out of last year's list,
has been awarded a Category A
contract this time along with current
captain Misbah-ul-Haq, allrounder
Mohammad Hafeez, spinners Saeed
Ajmal and Abdur Rehman, and fast bowler Umar Gul - the only player
retained in the top category from last
year's list. Afridi had retired "conditionally" from
international cricket following his
removal as captain after the tour of
West Indies, while Kamran, who also
was in Category A last year, has been
ignored since the World Cup. Afridi was involved in a legal battle with the
Pakistan board after he hinted at
differences between him and coach
Waqar Younis during the West Indies
tour; these were confirmed by Waqar
and team manager Intikhab Alam in their tour report. Afridi has said he will
not go back on his decision as long as
the present PCB regime remains in
power. Middle-order batsman Umar Akmal
and opener Imran Farhat were
retained in Category B. Also included
in that grade werere Abdul Razzaq,
demoted from grade A last year,
middle-order batsmen Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali, who have been
impressive finds for Pakistan in the last
couple of years. Left-arm seamer
Wahab Riaz, who took a five-for
against India in the World Cup semi-
final, also featured in grade B. As expected, there was no place for
Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and
Salman Butt , the three cricketers
banned for their involvement in the
spot-fixing controversy, while Shoaib
Malik, Mohammad Yousuf and Danish Kaneria, who were not picked for the
World Cup, have been ignored. Malik
and Kaneria are yet to be cleared by
the PCB's integrity committee. Kaneria
has not played for the national team
since August 2010, after the PCB tightened its anti-corruption
programme following the spot-fixing
controversy and Kaneria's own
entanglement in a corruption case in Essex. Kaneria was cleared by a police enquiry in Essex, but is yet to be cleared by the PCB; he has petitioned against his continued non-clearance. "As long as Malik and Kaneria are not
cleared by the PCB integrity committee,
a meeting of which is scheduled for August 15, they will not be considered
for the contracts," Intikhab, also the PCB's director, said at a press conference in Lahore. In Category C were seamer Tanvir
Ahmed, who picked up six wickets on Test debut against South Africa,
wicketkeeper Adnan Akmal, and the trio who have been picked in thesquad for the tour of Zimbabwe - Yasir Shah, Sohail Khan and Rameez Raja.
Aizaz Cheema, who has also been
picked, was placed in the stipend
category. The contracts are for a duration of six months - July 1 to December 31 this year.
