Shoaib in new row

Anil Kaul - who served as the team's security officer during the Champions Trophy - said Shoaib also misbehaved with a girl and caused chaos in the hotel corridors late at night.

"During a bus journey there was an impasse over whether to listen to Indian or western music," Kaul told NDTV news channel.

"Woolmer tried to crack a joke on Shoaib who then slapped him on the neck."

Two days later Shoaib and fellow fast bowler Mohammed Asif were called home by the Pakistan Cricket Board after it was revealed they had tested positive for banned steroid nadrolone.

Woolmer denied that the incident took place but has admitted that there was a disciplinary problem with Shoaib.

"The issue is being blown out of proportion," Woolmer told the channel.

"I don't know who is spreading these rumours. But I will concede there was a disciplinary issue when Shoaib was up in the evening, so we had a little but of a problem."

Kaul said Shoaib had to be pulled out of a discotheque by security staff and then created chaos in the corridors of the hotel.

"Shoaib went to the floor where the India team was staying and started banging on the doors," Kaul added.

"He accidentally banged on the door of India coach Greg Chappell and his wife came out dressed in her night clothes.

"Shoaib made some comments about her. The next morning I was having breakfast with the Pakistani team manager when Woolmer stormed in.

"He said even Chappell has complained about Shoaib and strict action must be taken."

Shoaib's cricketing future is in doubt after he has been handed a two-year ban for the failed dope test and denies the latest accusations levelled at him.

"No such incident took place," he said.

"I am surprised how you can say such things without any proof."

Pakistan team manager Talat Ali also denied the accusations.
