shoaib mallik with story
The new Pakistan captain, Shahid Afridi, is not too keen on Mallik joining the Pakistan squad for the 2010 Asia Cup, according to sources close to him, because Afridi does not believe that Mallik will stop being a negative force in the dressing room. From past experience, Afridi would not want the team to get disrupted by old negative influences to cloud their chances.
It is a view not only held by Afridi himself but also, those within the Pakistan cricket circles who feel the Pakistan Cricket Board may have made a mistake by lifting the ban. After all, being out of the team does not necessarily display behavior of how a player will do once back in, they retort.
