Shanaka latest player banned after pulling out of PSL
[Getty Images] Sri Lanka all-rounder Dasun Shanaka has become the latest player to be banned from future Pakistan Super League seasons after pulling out of this year's tournament. Shanaka, 34, who led his country at this year's T20 World Cup, withdrew before signing a deal as a replacement at Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. He has been banned for one year, with the Pakistan Cricket Board saying he has breached contractual agreements.
The decisions comes after a similar case involving Zimbabwe bowler Blessing Muzarabani. He was banned for two years after pulling out of a stint with Islamabad United and taking a deal with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. On Sunday Muzarabani's agent hit out at the decision, calling the ban "excessive" claiming a contract had not been signed.
