LAHORE – The Pakistan Cricket Board on Saturday handed over chargesheets to the two provisionally suspended cricketers Khalid Latif and Sharjeel Khan following the anti-corruption code of the board.
The board had suspended both the players on spot-fixing after an initial inquiry into an alleged attempt by an international syndicate to corrupt the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
“Sharjeel Khan has been charged with violation of Code Articles 2.1.1; 2.1.2; 2.1.3; 2.4.4; and 2.4.5 and Khalid Latif has been charged with violation of Code Articles 2.1.1; 2.1.2; 2.1.3; 2.1.4; 2.4.4; and 2.4.5,” said a statement by the PCB.
Both the players have been given 14 days to respond to the notice of charge.
“PCB maintains zero tolerance toward corrupt practices it believes are cancer eating at the heart of the game,” said the PCB statement.
“In the meanwhile investigations will continue by Vigilance & Security Department with regard to any questionable activity by any player and player support personnel,” it added.
