PCB gives banned players 30 days to appeal

Pakistan's Cricket Board has given seven players banned or fined recently 30 days to appeal.

In a shakeup following their disastrous recent tour of Australia, the PCB banned former captains Mohammad Yousuf and Younus Khan indefinitely, suspended another two players for a year, and handed heavy fines to three other frontline players.

None of the players have spoken publicly about their punishment or indicated they will appeal.

Pakistan are due to defend their World Twenty20 title soon in the West Indies and they're expected to name a new captain next week.
