Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar is getting ready for another kind of battle -- this time off the pitch, in a court of law.

The fast bowler will sue sports channel ESPN-Star Sports instead of accepting their apology for making derogatory remarks against him.

Akhtar sweats out in the nets


''This TV channel aired derogatory remarks against me without any rhyme and reason and tomorrow they can also do so against my country,'' he said and added, ''I will pursue litigation against this TV channel instead of accepting an apology from them.''

Shoaib also claimed to have the support of Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman (PCB) Shaharyar Khan.

''The PCB Chairman has also assured me of his full cooperation,'' Shoaib said.
