Malik's lawyer, Jahanzeb Akhtar said the fresh bid to clear the batsman's name would be considered after the court reopened in August.

"He has still not given up hope and will continue fighting legal battles to get the ban dismissed in a court of law."

Malik was banned from competitive cricket for life and fined �200,000 on the recommendation of Lahore High Court Judge Malik Mohammed Qayyum following a match-fixing inquiry in 1999.

Malik last petition against the ban was rejected by the Lahore High Court in May.

Current Test players Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul Haq and Saeed Anwar were also fined for not cooperating fully with the inquiry.

"My client believes that he has been condemned without being given a proper chance to present his case. He insists he is innocent of all match-fixing charges," Akhtar said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has refused to lift the ban or overturn the fine.

Australians Shane Warne, Mark Waugh and Tim May alleged in 1995 that Malik had offered them bribes to under-perform during Australia's 1994-1995 tour of Pakistan.

A separate investigation into alleged match-fixing by Pakistani cricketers during the 1999 World Cup in England cleared them of the charges last month.
