Former Pakistan captain Salim Malik, banned from cricket for life in 2000 for alleged involvement in match-fixing, wants a chance to clear his name.
Malik, who turns 40 this month, was banned by a judicial inquiry commission looking into match-fixing, headed by Lahore High Court judge Malik Mohammad Qayyum.
"Since then I've filed several appeals against the ban. My appeal is now pending in the Supreme Court but they are yet to set a date for a hearing," Malik told Reuters on Saturday.
The Qayyum commission recommended life bans for Malik and pace bowler Ata-ur-Rehman and fined five other players for not co-operating with the inquiry.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) later lifted Rehman's ban after they were asked by the Lahore High Court to hear the player's appeal.
"I want the board to also hear my appeal. They gave Ata a chance, so why not me? I've not got a chance to give my side of the story," Malik said.
Malik, with 103 matches, is one of three Pakistan players to have played more than 100 tests for Pakistan.
He scored 5,768 test runs and 7,170 runs in 283 one-dayers. His last appearance for Pakistan was in the 1999 World Cup against India in Manchester.
