Selectors not to consider Akhtar for Zimbabwe series

Back to my favorite bug bear - Shoaib Akhtar. He has again put his career on line.

“PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf asked Akhtar to come back from India and participate in domestic cricket to prove his fitness. But Akhtar refused to do so. He is still having ‘fun’ in India,” sources added. “Keeping in view the behaviour of the fast bowler, the selectors have decided to replace Akhtar with pacers Sohail Khan or Abdul Rauf,” they added.

Just another day in the life of Shoaib Akhtar. Is he being wilful or is he a plain vanilla self-destruct personality?
