Cricket - The Gentleman’s Game

Pakistan cricketer Muhammad Asif who was drug tainted after the IPL series last year was heard by the IPL panel in the Wankhade Stadium. Asif who played for Delhi Daredevils in the last IPL series was caught with a packet of opium in the Dubai airport on his way back to Pakistan. Dubai police detained him for a few days after and imposed a life time ban on Asif for visiting Dubai.

Now, IPL had taken up the case and heard Asif’s arguments. The panel of IPL had five members of which three are cricketers. Asif case was argued by a Karachi based lawyer and another Indian lawyer assisting him. After the trial, the panel had decided to defer the decision to a later time.

Meanwhile, Delhi Daredevils canceled its contract with Asif.
