It was reported to us by Asif that Shoaib had hit him on his leg with a bat and abused him.""The tour management committee made us aware of the incident last night and conducted an immediate inquiry into the event," Nasim Ashraf, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), told Cricinfo. "They got their facts and decided Shoaib had to be sent back for allegedly hitting Mohammad Asif with a bat. The board was informed of the decision and we have approved it."Further action against Shoaib has not been ruled out once he returns. The bowler was already on six weeks' probation following a breach of discipline last month after he left a training camp in Karachi without informing officials. Two hearings were held, after which it was decided that a monetary fine would be suspended pending his behaviour. Ashraf indicated that action would be likely."When the team management returns [from the tournament], the board will launch a full investigation and disciplinary hearing into the matter. Further action based on that is likely," Ashraf said.</blockquote>
