PCB opens fire!
Mar 10th
In short, breaking news we have is that the PCB has axed Muhammad Yousuf and Younis Khan from all forms of international cricket while not explictly calling it a ban. Shoaib Malik and Rana Naveed-ul-Hasan have also been banned for one year each while heavy fines have been imposed on Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal.
This has to be by far the biggest shake-up of the Pakistan cricket team in recent history. A Cricinfo.com report follows: More >

The biggest terrorist network of the world – the United States, Britain, Israel, India and the likes – has been tracing the shadow of Osama Bin Laden for more than a decade now. Yesterday’s arrest of US run Jundullah leader, Abdolmalek Al-Rigi, is a testimony of the growing strength of Iran and the professionalism of its security agencies.
He was arrested while he was on-board a plane flying from the United Arab Emirates to Kyrgyzstan, apparently carrying a forged Afghan passport. I am surprised at how freely he has been able to move across the world and his presence in a public plane just shows the confidence he has had in his supporters.
Rigi was Iran’s most wanted man. One of the Muslim Ummah’s most wanted men. He had openly accepted responsibility for a deadly attack on Iran’s Revolutionary Guards that had killed over 40 people last year. More >
