LAHORE: An anti-corruption tribunal of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reserved its decision in the case of cricketer Nasir Jamshed, who has allegedly been involved in a spot-fixing scam that erupted during the second Pakistan Super League (PSL) held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) earlier this year. Nasir did not appear before the tribunal since he is being interrogated by England`s National Crime Agency, which has also seized his passport, in the same case. Nasir`s lawyer Hasan Waraich pleaded his case with Nasir only facing the charge of being non-cooperator with the PCB in the case. Once he appears before the tribunal, he may face more charges. The tribunal will announce its decision in the next 30 days. Waraich told media that he had given his final arguments in the case and claimed that in PCB documents, the man named Yousuf Anwar was not mentioned as a bookie. A PCB spokesman, however, rebutted Waraich’s claim and said he had all evidences to prove Yousaf as a bookie. The spokesman said a PCB lawyer gave his arguments over Nasir’s non-cooperation with the PCB. Apart from Nasir, four other cricketers namely Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif, Shahzaib Hasan and Mohammad Irfan were implicated in the spot-fixing case. Published in Daily Times, November 26th 2017.
