Will the PCB ever get its story straight?

Everything just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. One PCB official says that they have all the doping tests in hand, except for those of Asif and Shoaib who are both in England to deal with fitness related issues. One would have thought that their tests were more important and of greater significance than those of the rest of the squad, what with the previous positive tests and all.

Another PCB official says that they have all the tests except those of Shoaib, Asif and also of Shahid Afridi, as even Shahid is in London for a "charity match". Now I'm not sure why London is so popular all of a sudden, but a little bit of Googling, and some intrepid work by yours truly revealed that there is no "charity match" in London. Shahid Afridi, less than 3 weeks before the World Cup, happens to be canoodling with Bollywood stars in London, at the "Zee Carnival". I did some digging, and there are NO other cricketers there who interrupted their training and focusing period prior to the World Cup, save our very own Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi. I guess someone isn't too concerned about missing the first two matches of the Cup, or their place in the squad.
