The episode dates back to the Pakistan Super League in 2017 during which Sharjeel was sent back home for his involvement in a spot-fixing scandal.
A PCB official said Sharjeel could be allowed to resume playing as soon as September in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy but he has to first admit his involvement in the spot-fixing.
The PCB has rejected Sharjeel's appeal to allow him to play domestic cricket before the cricketer's ban expires.
Khan's lawyer Shaighan Ejaz confirmed that his client has filed an application with the PCB Chairman.
Sharjeel will be eligible to play cricket again in September 2019 after the expiry of his ban with half of it suspended.
Following his involvement in spot-fixing, Pakistan batsman Nasir Jamshed has been handed a 10-year ban by the PCB.
The spot fixing allegation is related to the second edition of PSL when Islamabad United played Peshawar Zalmi this February in Dubai.
Sharjeel thinks the five year ban handed to him by PCB anti-corruption tribunal was unjust.
Sharjeel Khan's appeal against his five-year ban over spot-fixing was overruled.
The PSL spot-fixing scandal shook Pakistan cricket and led to suspensions of four national players, Shahzaib Hasan, Nasir Jamshed, Muhammad Irfan and Muhammad Nawaz.
