Umar Akmal's ban will effectively run from February 2020 to August 2021 after the 30-year-old's sentence was reduced by independent adjudicator Faqir Mohammad Khokhar.
Akmal was banned in April after he failed to report corrupt approaches at the beginning of the currently suspended PSL.
The 30-year-old challenged his ban and the PCB said that the "independent adjudicator will now decide on the date of the appeal hearing".
The report on www.geo.tv says as per their source, the board will within the next 15 days appoint an independent arbitrator to hear the appeal.
Akmal was found guilty of two charges under the PCB Anti-Corruption Code and on April 27, he was banned from cricket activities till February 2023.
Akmal had earlier escaped a PCB ban in February for allegedly making crude remarks to a trainer during a fitness test at the NCA in Lahore.
Haider has revealed that Umar was one of the few to threaten him to under-perform in the third ODI of the series, due to which he fled to London.
Sethi recalled the time when Umar was first diagnosed with the condition but he straightforward refused to believe it.
Referring to Pakistan Cricket Board as 'useless' and 'incompetent', Akhtar blamed the it for not being able to handle the match-fixing problem properly.
Raja had expressed his displeasure after Akmal was found guilty, saying it was such a waste of talent.
