The fast bowler was later show-caused for not paying the fine and told by the PCB that he has to pay the fine to be eligible to play for Pakistan after he was picked in the Champions Trophy squad.

The PCB has now submitted an application with the Lahore High Court asking for clear directives whether they should allow Shoaib to play despite not paying the fine. It will come up for hearing on Monday.

Shoaib said he was confident that despite these problems he would force his way back into the national side.

"Trouble comes and goes over your career. You are put through certain situations in your life that you have to get through to become a better person," he said.

"I have been through those situations and I have learned a lot," Shoaib added.
