Cape Town - The international future of Proteas spinner Aaron Phangiso appears to be hanging in the balance after he was barred from a flight in an intoxicated state.

According to Afrikaans newspaper, Rapport, the incident occurred when Phangiso and a few of his team-mates were travelling from India to South Africa on October 26 last year following South Africa’s ODI series win in the subcontinent.

Phangiso and his team-mates were travelling from Mumbai - via Dubai - to Johannesburg when the slow left-armer behaved badly on the flight.
