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.

Don't think Amir, Asif or Butt got a heroes welcome. They were named and shamed. Banned for 5 years and had to beg to be reinstated.

This is the reason i left CS.Even well intentioned posts are treated as being sarcastic. -

Should definitely be punished if guilty though. -
Bhai,Pakistani fans were asking for his return.PCB made a special request to ICC to allow Amir to play domestic cricket.All this for a fixer? -

Either they're unnecessarily targeted or the guys have some deep connections.
Can't help but think of corruption ala Kaabil movie style here -
Keep trying...il answer your next question by saying, there is a reason hy the legal system has 'mitigating circumstances' and differing sentences for often the same crime. -

I want to ask a question here,If Sharjeel is found guilty of not reporting the approach and is banned for 1 or 2 years,how many of you will want to see him back in the side post his ban?
-
Although i agree that @s2k being back from the dead is rather on an oppurtune time but what he is saying is right.
