    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, Nov 2:<\/strong> Pakistan opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad has been fined by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the charges of ball-tampering during a domestic tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to a PCB media release, Shehzad has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee after he was found guilty of changing condition of the ball (non-identification) during the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy clash between Central Punjab and Sindh which took place on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The incident occurred during the 17th over of Sindh&#39;s first innings when, during a normal inspection of the ball, on-field umpires found that the ball had been unfairly changed by a member of the fielding side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The matter was reported to the match referee who, on the basis of a preliminary review, determined that Shehzad, as captain, had a case to answer for the contravention as the incident related to non-identification of the player and a Notice of Charge was issued to him under the PCB Code of Conduct.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shehzad pleaded not guilty to the charge, and, as such, a hearing took place after the match on Thursday, in which the Pakistan batsman was found guilty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We can agree to disagree in this incident as I maintain that the condition of the ball changed naturally due to the rough playing square and not artificially. I tried to convince the match officials, but they insisted and I accept and respect their decision,&quot; Shehzad was quoted as saying in an official statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I would never indulge in such an act nor allow any of my team-mates to disrespect the game. My priority is to play hard, competitive and result-oriented cricket, and at the same time inspire the younger generation, which watches us play the game,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shehzad, who has played in 13 Tests, 81 ODIs and 59 T20Is for Pakistan, was earlier handed a four-month ban effective by the cricket board in July last year for violating PCB&#39;s anti-doping rules.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
