According to ARY News, the national television administration in the notice said, "As per clause 22, both sides shall have the right to terminate their agreement by serving three months' written notice or payment in lieu thereof."

"Shoaib Akhtar also left Dubai during T20 World Cup transmission without any prior information to PTVC management. Besides, appearance on an Indian TV show along with Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh, which also caused irreparable losses to PTV," the notice further added.

Shoaib Akhtar stormed off a live TV broadcast last month when the host ordered him to leave because he was "oversmart and rude."

Shortly after, the former cricketer quit as a cricket pundit from the channel, blaming presenter Nauman Niaz's inappropriate behaviour on-air.

"Please accept my apologies, but I am leaving from PTV Sports immediately since I have been humiliated and treated unfairly on live television in front of the entire nation," the former Pakistani bowler stated before exiting the broadcast.&nbsp;
