Afridi withdraws petition against PCB

Karachi: Former Pakistan Cricket team captain Shahid Afrdi withdrew his petition against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in the Sindh High Court on Wednesday following his meeting with the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt which took place on Tuesday in Islamabad to settle the dispute out of the court.

According to media reports the PCB has given Afridi the No Objection Certificate (NOC) which he needed to play for Hampshire and later in the Sri Lanka Premier League.

Afridi went to court after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) punished him for allegedly breaching a code of conduct by announcing his retirement after he was dumped as one-day captain, and for levelling allegations against the board.
