Nasir Jameshed Charged By PCB in PSL Corruption Scandal


Nasir Jamshed has been formally charged by PCB in connection with the ongoing investigation into alleged corruption in the Pakistan Super League. The 27-year-old has been accused of violating Articles 2.4.6 and 2.4.7, which refers to failing to cooperate with the council's investigation into the scandal. No fees have been imposed for fixing or encouraging to fix games in the opener until now. Jamshed will have to respond to the charge within 14 days.

The indictment comes after Jamshed said several attempts by the PCB to interrogate the starter in person in London.

Jamshed was arrested in the UK and then released on bail on 13 February shortly after the corruption scandal of the T20 tournament broke out in the second week of February. Jamshed, which was not part of the PSL, was subsequently provisionally suspended by PCB for alleged violations of the board's anti-corruption code.

Meanwhile, PCB has also referred the case of Shahzaib Hasan to the investigation court. Shahzaib was the fifth player to have been provisionally suspended by PCB during his initial investigation into the scandal. Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif and Mohammad Irfan were the others accused by the board in their ongoing campaign to eliminate corruption in the sport.

Fast bowler Irfan confessed the only charge against him, of "not reporting a fixed offer". He coined a fine of 1 million PKR and a one-year ban on gambling, which could be reduced to six months if Irfan helped PCB in its anti-corruption efforts.
