Sources in the board told PTI that the committee which met on Saturday had completed its proceedings and the legal advisor of the board, Tafazzul Rizvi had been given the task of preparing the final report and recommendations of the committee.

"The committee will meet again on Tuesday where they will approve the report prepared by the legal advisor after which the chief operating officer, Wasim Bari who heads the committee will submit it to the Chairman of the board, Ejaz Butt," one source said.

He said at Saturday's meeting, Tafazzul Rizvi and another member had made it clear that they would not be part of any eyewash and wanted the committee to prepare its report and make recommendations based on facts.

"There will be no cover ups by the committee and there is strong likelihood the committee will recommend disciplinary action against Akmal and Afridi," the source said.
