Younis was suspended indefinitely for infighting with former captain Mohammad Yousuf on a tour of Australia early this year, while Naved was banned for a year and fined two million rupees ($23,500) for his poor performance on that tour.

Younis' appeal had been put back until June 5, but selectors are likely to finalize the 15-member squad for the Asia Cup before that. Naved's next hearing will be on June 19 — five days after the Asia Cup begins in Sri Lanka.

Iqbal Mohammad Ali, head of parliament's sports committee, felt the delays were deliberate.

"I believe the only reason in delaying the appeals of these two players is that the PCB does not want to include their names in the Asia Cup squad," Ali told AP.

Seven players received a combination of suspensions and fines after the Australian tour. On Saturday, arbitrator Irfan Qadir quashed the one-year ban on Shoaib Malik and cut his fine in half.

"He (arbitrator) should have had given decisions on all the six appeals yesterday, but he just lifted ban from Shoaib Malik and reduced the fine," Ali said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board said it had observed the attitude and behavior of Malik over the past three months and proposed to the arbitrator that they wanted to lift the ban and reduce the fine.

"It surprised me that they kept only Malik under observation," Ali said.

Ali said it was his committee which directed the PCB to review all suspensions and fines on the players last week.

"PCB should treat all the players equally," Ali said.

"If they had decided to lift the ban on Malik and reduce the fine, they should have taken the similar decision on all the players."
