Pakistan cricket authorities handed spot-fixing evidence to opening batsmen Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif as a court rejected an appeal challenging the investigation.
Khalid had challenged the ongoing spot-fixing inquiry in Lahore high court but had to appear before the anti-corruption unit of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Khalid, 31, is one of five players charged with spot-fixing and other related offences during the Pakistan Super League held in February and March earlier this year.
A three-member tribunal headed by a retired judge is investigating the issue. A Lahore high court official said Khalid was directed back to the tribunal. “Khalid had challenged the authority of the anti-corruption unit but his request was rejected,” said the official. The PCB said it has submitted evidence against the players to the tribunal.
