Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sent legal notices to ex-cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz, ex-Chairmen PCB Ijaz Butt and Khalid Mahmood, ex-cricketer Aamir Sohail and PML-Q leader Kamil Ali asking them to apologise to the PCB and Executive Committee chairman Najam Sethi for defaming and slandering them with lies. Under the legal notice, it would be binding on these individuals to reply within fourteen days of receipt of legal notices otherwise proceedings of defamation will be started in the court of law.
In case of non reply, defamation suit for 100 million will be instituted against each one, notice adds. The defamation notice says that the above persons have maliciously and falsely accused Najam Sethi of working with Moin Khan to fix matches and bet on them. It may be noted that all five people to whom notices have been issued have been engaged in a deliberate and motivated conspiracy to undermine the PCB and the Pak Team and various PCB officials.
