The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)'s Anti-Corruption Tribunal on Monday imposed a one-year ban on opener Nasir Jamshed for non-cooperation in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) spot-fixing scandal. The PCB's Tribunal found Nasir Jamshed guilty of violating its code for "obstruction and non-cooperation" in the spot-fixing case. The cricketer Nasir was charged with violating two articles i.e., 2.4.6 and 2.4.7, of the PCB's anti-corruption code, one of which was "obstruction and non-cooperation" under which he has now been banned from playing cricket for one-year.
"Anti Corruption Tribunal has imposed one year ban on cricketer Nasir Jamshed for non-co-operation with PCB ACU, more charges will be brought up in near future," the PCB said on its official Twitter account. The PCB's anti-corruption unit is soon to bring forward main charges against Nasir in the fixing case.
The ban will effectively end in February 2018, as the left-handed opener has been provisionally suspended for the past 10 months. The PCB lawyer, Taffazul Rizvi informed that the tribunal was able to prove the charge of failure to cooperate in the investigation whereas the other charge on Jamshed of being obstruction in investigation has not yet been proved. "This ban has been imposed on single charge only. There is a narrative being made against the PCB that the PCB has no proofs against Jamshed, but I should inform you that the charges and proofs against Jamshed have not been made public in order to keep investigation in flow and so that Jamshed is not able to put cover on his tracks," he said.
He further added that Jamshed has filed defamation suit against PCB but if he is innocent then why don't he or his lawyer come here and tell everyone. "Nasir should tell everyone why his passport is held by National Crime Agency in London and why is he on bail over there, and why he hasn't filed a defamation suit," Taffazul said. The sources claim that the PCB believes Nasir Jamshed played a central role in the spot-fixing scandal which hit PSL earlier this year. He was arrested by the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) in February, the same day he was provisionally suspended by the PCB for allegedly violating its anti-corruption code. He was later released on bail.
Openers Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif have already been suspended by the PCB for five years after the tribunal found them guilty of playing a role in the spot-fixing. Fast bowler Mohammad Irfan and all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz were also suspended for twelve and two months, respectively, for not reporting the corrupt practice to the board in time.
