Pak to use Akhtar book in court case

Pakistan cricket authorities said yesterday they would use confessions made by Shoaib Akhtar in his autobiography in court to justify disciplining the former pacer.

Akhtar's appeal against a seven million rupee disciplinary fine imposed three years ago is pending in Lahore High Court.

"In a writ case it is important to have clean conduct and in his book Akhtar has confessed to breach of discipline," PCB's legal adviser said.
