Pakistan's Akmal brothers appeal fines
We have received their appeals in person and now it will be forwarded to an appellate tribunal, Pakistan Cricket Boards legal adviser Taffazul Rizvi told AP.
The PCB last month fined Kamran 3 million rupees ($35,200) while Umar was fined 2 million rupees ($23,500).
According to then manager of the team Abdul Raquib, the Akmal brothers spoke out in the media when wicketkeeper Kamran was dropped from the team due to poor performance after the second Test in Sydney.
Umar Akmal also complained of a back injury, which a medical check up could not detect.
A PCB inquiry investigated Pakistans poor performance in Australia where it was beaten 3-0 in the Test series and 5-0 in the one-day series.
The cricket board implemented all the recommendations of the inquiry committee last month, including putting Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi and the Akmal brothers on a six-month probation.
Afridi was also fined after the Australia tour for ball tampering during the one-day series while allrounder Rana Naved and former captain Shoaib Malik were fined and banned from the national team for one year.
Mohammad Yousuf, who last month retired from international cricket, and Younis Khan were barred from the national team for indefinite periods.
Rizvi said that the deadline for the remaining five players to file appeals was April 16.
The three-member appellate tribunal comprises two retired supreme court judges, Munir Sheikh and Jamshed Ali Shah, and a former high court judge Irfan Qadir.
