Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif provisionally suspended by PCB
The Pakistan Cricket Board have today provisionally suspended two players 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 which started in Dubai yesterday.
Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif have been suspended and the rigorous and wide-ranging investigation by the PCB supported by the ICC will continue as part of collective efforts to protect the integrity of the sport.
Najam Sethi, Chairman of the PSL said: “It would not be appropriate to comment on the specifics of the case, however this investigation is a clear demonstration of our determination to drive corruption out of our sport. We will not tolerate any form of corrupt activity and as this investigation proceeds we will not hesitate to take further decisive action as appropriate.
“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.”
Chairman PCB, Mian Shaharyar M. Khan said, “I must remind all players of their responsibilities in the fight against corruption. They must understand that if they even think they may have been the subject of a suspicious approach, it is their obligation under the PCB Anti-Corruption Code to report it to an appropriate anti-corruption official as a matter of urgency.”
“Under no circumstances will the PCB condone actions of a few individuals to bring disrepute to the game of cricket or taint the image of Pakistan.”
The PCB and the ICC will not make any further comment in respect of ongoing investigation.

According to PCB sources, both the players were caught by PCB’s security and anti-corruption officer Col Azam on Thursday night while connecting with suspected people. Sources said both the players have confessed to be in contact with the suspected people, with their international careers now at verge of being ended.
Colonel should have shot them point blank. Bloody hell. My blood is boiling -
Looks like Sharjeel was having fun
-
All speculation atm. Lets wait for the facts. -
This was always on the card, always bound to happen...
When you let Amir become part of National team, Butt is about this make his was and Asif too might get a re-call, then what message it broadcast to others around? -
-
Hearing another Pakistani player being questioned by ICC ACSU.
According to some sources, the player in question is Zulfiqar Babar. -
Anyways let's wait and see. -

-
Tragic. One day eating corn on the cob in Nandos. Next day on flight home.
-
Typical overreaction and underreaction. This was bound to happen after Aamir came back
-
-
lol. uncle bhi is umar main...tech tech...
Well I cant blame him. Boat is sinking for him so wouldn't mind bragging as much as he can. Could/would and now should've his last PSL. After all there is a limit to drag old dead horses. -
This could turn ugly -
-
-
Hearing @Alchemy 's favourite player is under investigation too.
P.S: Not Shehzad -
-
Lets blame Amir when these players are sensible enough to avoid these things.Great work by Najam to make this open and shut case
-
i think other person is Zulfiqar Babar
-
No names please.
-
-
-
End of career for the both.Best of luck for future
-
Gotta say its being handled well though...take no prisoners. Suddenly targeting PSL, trying to taint it. Have to pull the rotten plant from its roots straight away.
-
Add M Irfan and Umar Akmal to the list too
-
This was bound to happen when Amir gets a Heroes welcome and fans ask for return of Asif and Butt.
As a cricket fan this is very painful. -
I'm sure Pakistan will find a replacement very soon.
If found guilty he should be banned for life -
@s_h_a_f that pic isn't from last night lol
