Bollywood
actor
Shahrukh
Khan
may
be
doing
well
in
his
film
career
but
his
cricket
game
has
taken
a
setback.
He
has
signed
Pakistani
speedster
Shoaib
Akhtar
for
his
team
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
but
he
is
likely
to
be
banned
from
playing
in
the
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL).
The
IPL
Governing
Council
has
decided
to
ban
the
troubled
cricketer
following
five
years
ban
imposed
on
him
by
the
Pakistan
Cricket
Board
(PCB)
for
indiscipline.
It
is
said
that
the
IPL
Council
has
banned
him
to
avoid
embarrassment
all-around.
Meanwhile,
Shahrukh
Khan
is
doing
all
he
can
to
bring
Shoaib
back
to
his
team.
He
knew
that
he
can
hire
another
player
but
he
wants
him
back.
He
said
that
he
would
speak
to
BCCI
and
IPL
Commissioner
Lalit
Modi
on
the
matter
and
try
to
lift
the
ban.
He
is
of
the
opinion
that
Shoaib
should
be
allowed
to
play
in
the
domestic
cricket
though
he
is
banned
from
international
cricket.
