LAHORE: Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif have reportedly failed to satisfy the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials about their role in alleged spot-fixing at ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL).
“They failed to satisfy PCB’s anti-corruption committee. Sharjeel opened a Pandora’s box when he was asked about first five balls played by him in the tournament’s first match,” PCB official told local media.
The duo has failed to give reasonable answers about their connection with Nasir Jamshed and the bookie; both of whom were arrested by the UK police.
After the hearing, the players have been asked to file the details of their mobile communication, travel, meetings and activities in UAE.
After submission of the required details, PCB is most likely to hand over charge-sheets to the cricketers for their alleged involvement in spot-fixing.
Yesterday, fast bowler Muhammad Irfan, who is also under investigation, was slapped with various restrictions. He has been barred from using his cell phone and meeting his fellow cricketers in the PSL.
Investigators have not yet cleared Muhammad Irfan who is playing for Islamabad United.
Two more players of Zulfiqar Babar (Quetta Gladiator) and Shahzaib Hasan (Karachi Kings) were also quizzed but cleared of any wrong-doing.
British police arrested Pakistani batsman Nasir Jamshed and a person named Yousuf in connection with bribery offences as part of an investigation into the spot-fixing.
UK authorities are working closely with PCB and International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption units.
Sharjeel and Latif have been accused of meet a suspicious person linked to an international betting syndicate.
Jamshed, who made the last of 68 appearances for Pakistan across all three formats nearly two years ago, is not taking part in the PSL.
Sharjeel has a contract with English countryside Leicestershire to play in the domestic Twenty20 Blast tournament later this year.
