KARACHI: Suspended Pakistan cricket star Shahid Afridi filed a petition in court against sanctions imposed on him by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), his lawyer said on Tuesday.
“We have filed a petition in the Sindh High Court against the sanctions on our client Afridi and have appealed for a stay order against the punishments against him,” lawyer Mahmood Mandviwala told AFP.
In his petition Afridi claimed that he was ‘punished’ without a proper hearing and a chance to defend himself.
Earlier, Afridi’s lawyer Syed Zafar Ali said, “If there’s any charge against anyone, he should have his legal representative, fair and proper inquiry should be held and then the decision made.”
“At least hear our client first and give him a chance to defend himself.”
