Trivia
Pakistan players fined for night out
Eight Pakistan players, including maverick former captain Shahid Afridi and opener Ahmed Shehzad, were fined 300 Australian dollars (US $230) for breaching a team curfew (coming 45 minutes late to their Sydney hotel after a dinner night out) ahead of their crucial World Cup game against India. They were also been warned that a repeat offence would see them kicked out of the tournament.
AFP added: Pakistani players have a history of off-field discipline problems. Three key players -- Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer -- were caught in a spot-fixing scandal in England in 2010.The trio was accused of taking money to orchestrate deliberate no-balls during the Lord's Test. All three were banned for five years by the International Cricket Council. They, along with their agent Mazhar Majeed, were also jailed in UK.
