Islamabad, Dec. 24: The Pakistan Cricket Board has told wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal and former captain Shoaib Malik that they will not be considered for the World Cup squad unless they submit documents listing their assets and bank accounts to the PCB by December 30.
PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed said on Friday that the fate of both players would be decided after they submit the required financial documents. The International Cricket Council has extended Pakistan’s deadline to submit a preliminary 30-man World Cup squad to Jan. 5 after the PCB requested an extension so it can clear players in advance. India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will jointly host the World Cup from Feb. 19 next year when 14 countries will take part in the tournament.
