The PCB inquiry committee, probing into Pakistan's poor performance in Australia, has recommended disciplinary action against five players including former captain Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi.

According to reliable sources, PCB Chairman Ejaz Butt has discussed the report with the national selection committee.

"The inquiry committee has recommended that the board should suspend former captain Shoaib Malik and Rana Naved and fine Shahid Afridi, Kamran and Umar Akmal for various violations of the code of conduct," one source said.

The source said the captain, coach and the manager on the Australian tour had reported Malik and Rana for misbehavior and not cooperating with the management.

"The committee has recommended fines on Afridi for his ball tampering act and on Kamran and Umar Akmal for giving press statements against the will of the management," the source disclosed.

He said the inquiry committee had also advised the Board to make no compromise on discipline and not select any player who was found guilty of violating the code of conduct.
