The rift between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and former captain Shahid Afridi ended on Wednesday when the star all-rounder withdrew his petition against the board in the Sindh High Court (SHC).
It is being reported that in return, the PCB has given Afridi the No Objection Certificate (NOC) which he needed to play for Hampshire and later in the Sri Lanka Premier League.
Afridi went to court after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) punished him for allegedly breaching a code of conduct by announcing his retirement after he was dumped as one-day captain, and for levelling allegations against the board.
It suspended his central contract and revoked all his no-objection certificates (NOCs), in effect permission slips to play abroad.
However, the Afridi and PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt met on Tuesday in Islamabad and one source privy to the meeting said government officials had stepped in to arrange the talks and Afridi had agreed to withdraw his court case, a second hearing of which is due on Thursday
