Shahid Afridi found himself in some real trouble during the 2nd drinks interval of the final session on Day 2 of the 2nd Test at Faisalabad. The Stadium and the players just got their minds distracted by a minor cylinder explosion near the ad hoardings near the boundary. Afridi during the drinks break scuffed up the bowlers’ footmarks at one of the ends on purpose. He started to scuff the business area of the wicket with his boots and applied enough pressure to damage the pitch, little did Shahid Afridi know that what he was doing was caught on the camera and was seen by millions of cricket followers! Later after the day’s play Afridi admitted to be guilty of his act in an hearing with the ICC Match Referee Roshan Mahanama. Afridi was given a ban of one Test and two ODIs, the Pakistan Cricket Board has stated that it would hold an inquiry into this issue soon.
