Afridi, who was leading the side in the final One-day International (ODI) against Australia in the absence of an injured Mohammad Yousuf, was caught by TV cameras appearing to chew on one side of the white ball, shortly before the umpires changed it at the end of the 45th over.
Afridi admitted the charge, after which the match referee slapped the ban, the Karachi- based television channel reported.
Coach Inftikhab Alam described the ban as 'unfortunate'.
Afridi has a chequered disciplinary history. He was banned for a Test and two one-dayers back in 2005 for for deliberately damaging the pitch during a Test match against England.
