Pakistan's fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar will lead the Islamabad Leopards in the domestic Twenty20 Cup, just three days after his country cut him from the World Twenty20 squad due to a skin infection. "He (Akhtar) has told us that he is fit so we have no reason to drop him,"
Islamabad Cricket Association president Shakil Shaikh told the Associated Press. "We have not received any medical report of Akhtar from the Pakistan Cricket Board." The PCB on
Wednesday replaced Akhtar with fast bowler Rao Iftikhar for the World Twenty20 after a three-member medical board advised treatment for another 10 days on Akhtar's ailment.
Pakistan's domestic Twenty20 Cup begins at Lahore from Monday with Islamabad Leopards taking on Peshawar Panthers - led by Pakistan captain Younus Khan. Akhtar, the 33-year-old once fiery paceman, has struggled over the last five months to keep his place in the national team. He made a comeback to international cricket after 14 months in January but was sidelined with a knee injury after playing only two one-day internationals against Sri Lanka. He also struggled in the one-day series against Australia in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month.
He could not bowl his full quota of 10 overs in any of the four games he played and got only three wickets.
