Afridi to face discipline committee

The Pakistan Cricket Board Thursday summoned former Pakistani skipper Shahid Afridi to appear before a disciplinary committee next week for breaching its code of conduct, it said in a statement.

Afridi quit international cricket on Monday, saying he was dejected after being replaced as one-day captain following a fiery clash with coach Waqar Younis.

"A three-man committee comprising of Shafiq Ahmed, Sultan Rana and Usman Wahla has been formed and Afridi has been summoned on June 8 to appear before it," said the PCB statement.

The proceedings will be conducted in closed session and no outsiders will be allowed to attend, the PCB said, adding that there would be a right of appeal from the committee's findings.
