The Pakistan Cricket Board has provisionally suspended two players Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif under its Anti-Corruption Code as part of an ongoing investigation into an international syndicate which is believed to be attempting to corrupt the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Both Latif and Khan were part of the Islamabad United team in the ongoing second edition of the PSL.
“The investigation of the PCB Anti-Corruption Unit backed by the ICC ACU has been effective in dealing with this case to date and we will continue to work in the closest collaboration as the investigation proceeds. We are all absolutely committed to relentlessly pursuing anyone who would seek to damage the integrity of our sport,” read the statement issued by PCB.
The soccer website revealed that the match-fixing allegations were discussed at PSL Executive Committee (EXCO) meeting on Tuesday 12 May 2015.“I brought it to the attention of the EXCO and we have handed it over to the prosecutors.The prosecutors are independent from the PSL and, as standard procedure, they will investigate if there is a case or not. If there is, a case will be opened,” explained De Villiers.
