The side flew to Bulawayo for the start of a two-Test series against Zimbabwe, where coach Haroon Rashid said The Management were considering what action should be taken against fast bowlers, Shoaib Akhtar and Fazl-e-Akbar.

He said that one option might be to send the players home, but a final decision would not be taken until later this week.

The players in question had broken the team's 11 o'clock evening curfew during games in South Africa and had been caught drinking in downtown bars.

Rashid Latif, the Pakistan captain, who was brought in at that level to clean up the image of his country's cricket, said: ``I have told all the players enough is enough and that I want total com mitment.

``If that is lacking I have said to all of them that there is no shortage of talent back home.''

It appears that the two players - younger members of the touring party - have been made scapegoats and that Latif shied away from similar strong action against senior players who have also been seen carousing late at night, preferring only to lecture them.

The tour began with complaints from two other players that they had been mugged in the street outside their hotel in Johannesburg. That had caused a one-day delay to the start of the first Test.

Then inconsistencies in their story suggested that the attack might actually have taken place in a call-girl club. The players declined to help police by making sworn statements.

INDIA'S win over Australia in the first Test has led to more controversy with match referee Peter van den Merwe asking for a video of Rajesh Chauhan's bowling action.

India are already angry, despite their 179-run win in Madras, after Van den Merwe refused to penalise four Australians who showed their displeasure at umpiring decisions, even though their own Nayan Mongia was fined 50 per cent of his match fee for a similar offence. Chauhan's action was cleared recently by the International Cricket Council.
