My Advice to Shoaib
There is a lot of talk about the current ban sounding the end of Shoaib’s cricket. Maybe so but remember this is a guy that takes long stints off for recovery anyway. With a good long rest he could be good for a final two to four years in his usual fitful way. So here are the top ten things for him to do as he serves his ban.

10. Appeal the ban. See if he can maybe get it reduced to a one year ban.
9. Make a movie or two. See if he has a career in that industry once he leaves cricket for good.
8. Party, party, party. Get that out of his system before the final burst.
7. Become an expert commentator. The guy probably will still have more draw than the players. His manager should get going on ironing out a deal for him to be present in some commentary box during the world cup.
6. Go on the speaking circuit.
5. Write a book or two (of course with someone).
4. Become a spokesperson for a product or two.
3. Open a charity bearing his name and raise funds for a cause of his choosing.
2. Spend some time out of the limelight.
1. Start getting back in shape for his return (without drugs).
