Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif was banned for six months on Wednesday by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for conceding a domestic match while captaining his team Karachi."The Chairman of the PCB has taken serious notice of the breach of playing conditions by Rashid Latif and given his past record has decided to impose a fine of 250 dollars on him and ban him for six months from all first-class cricket," PCB spokesman Abbas Zaidi told Reuters. The 36-year-old Latif, leading the Karachi Blues side in a match in Faisalabad, declared his team's innings on 40 for four and conceded the match saying the pitch was too dangerous. Latif, who has played 37 Tests and 166 one-day internationals, captained Pakistan until November 2003.
