No further action over Shoaib TV appearance

Can he come back again?PCB chairman Ijaz Butt said he would not pursue further action against Shoaib Akhtar for appearing on a television show.
Shoaib breached terms of his central contract by appearing on the programme and saying he had considered suing the PCB for releasing confidential information on a medical report just prior to the World Twenty20 in England.
Shoaib was controversially dropped from the team after being picked to the final squad and the PCB said in a statement the paceman was dropped because he was suffering from "genital viral warts".
Shoaib was ordered to render an explanation for his comments and the fast bowler subsequently apologised to the PCB.
"Akhtar has realised his mistake and he has apologised to the board for his actions," Butt said.
"We have decided to close this matter now."
Shoaib, who is still fighting a legal battle with the PCB over a five-year ban imposed by former chief Nasim Ashraf, is hoping to revive a career which has also been hit by injury.
Butt, however, offered the fast bowler hope by suggesting he could still play as long as he proved his fitness.
"If the national selectors are satisfied with his fitness he is eligible to play for the country," Butt said.
