Shoaib shows up finally, to play home series

Lahore Shoaib's career has always been bogged down by injury worries.

After missing action for two days, Shoaib Akhtar finally showed up at the training camp being conducted for the upcoming home series against England.

The paceman tried to silence skeptics on Sunday by bowling for half an hour and then again for 15 minutes after a short break.

Pakistan Cricket Board chief Shaharyar Khan also observed Shoaib on close net.

Shoaib has repeatedly maintained that the bowler's chances of making it into the line up against England on the result of his fitness test.

In the recent ICC Super Series, the selection committee was criticised for including Shoaib in the Rest Of The World squad despite his sub-standard fitness.
