"Shoaib is temporarily allowed to play until the petition is heard, but he will have to give the fine," said Pakistan Cricket Board lawyer Taffazul Rizvi.

Shoaib has now set his sights on playing in the Champions Trophy in September - and warming up for that tournament by playing English county cricket.

"I am keeping fit and I'm going to England and try to play some county or league matches there and get in shape for the Champions Trophy," he said.

"I owe my name and fame to Pakistan, so I will never defame my country. I want to win the Champions Trophy for my country and for that I need everyone's support."
