The Pakistan Cricket Board on Saturday said it will not punish Shoaib Akhtar [Images] further for the altercation with fellow paceman Mohammed Asif ahead if the start of the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa.

Following the dressing room incident, the PCB had called Shoaib back from the tournament.

The Board, however, will question him about subsequently holding a press conference and playing a charity match in England [Images] without its permission.

Shoaib would also be interrogated about making serious allegations against teammate Shahid Afridi [Images] in a disciplinary committee hearing which is expected to give a decision in the case today.

A senior PCB official said the fast bowler has already been punished for his row with Asif as the team manager sent him back from South Africa before the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa last month.

"The factual situation is that we have not included the primary charge in the fresh show cause notice sent to Shoaib as he has already been penalised for this offence by being sent back from South Africa," said Shafqat Naghmi, the PCB's Chief Executive.

"It is an old charge and during the hearing we have to decide if he deserves more penalty for this particular offence," he added.

Naghmi said the show cause notice send to Shoaib contained fresh charges of him addressing a press conference and going to play a charity match in England without the Board's permission and making serious allegations against teammate Shahid Afridi.
