‘PCB did not ask FIA to investigate fixing scandal’

Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Pakistan Super League (PSL) Chairman Najam Sethi on Tuesday claimed that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had not requested the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate the players, allegedly involved in spot-fixing.

The PSL chairman said that the cricket board only asked FIA to authenticate data that was recovered from the players’ phones. Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan later took notice of this case himself and directed FIA to start interrogation.

Sethi made the issue complex by saying that such investigations are against the laws of International Cricket Council (ICC). Najam Sethi also blamed media for complicating this case.

On the other hand, Sharjeel Khan and Shahzaib Hasan, who are allegedly involved in spot-fixing, will be investigated by FIA today. FIA inquired Mohammad Irfan and Khalid Latif yesterday who are facing the same charges.
