PCB tire of paceman's fitness and disciplinary problems
Shoaib Akhtar's international future will be decided at a Pakistan Cricket Board meeting on January 25.
Shoaib, 32, was omitted from a provisional 21-man squad for the forthcoming one-day series against Zimbabwe.
Doubts over the fast bowler's fitness, combined with his chequered disciplinary record, are causing concern within the PCB.
"Shoaib is facing fitness as well as disciplinary problems that were even pointed out during the India tour last year," PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf told the Daily Times.
"He has repeatedly violated discipline on a number of occasions. His case is referred to the PCB disciplinary committee and his future will be decided in the PCB governing body meeting to be held on January 25."
