The board has already appointed a former judge of the Lahore High Court, Justice Asghar Haider, to head a three-member judicial tribunal which will investigate the spot-fixing charges against Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif. The two Pakistani batsmen were sent back from Dubai during the PSL for their meetings with a suspected bookmaker. The PCB also didn’t clear left-arm pacer Mohammad Irfan for selection for the tour to the West Indies and his name was not included for the national training camp in Lahore.
Earlier, a three-member tribunal has been formed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to investigate the spot-fixing case allegedly involving Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The duo was suspended by the PCB under its Anti-Corruption Code, as part of an ongoing investigation into an international syndicate which was believed to corrupt the second edition of the PSL.
