Summary ACU is not satisfied with the statement of Shahzaib Hasan.
LAHORE (Daily Dunya) – Karachi Kings’ opener Shahzaib Hasan is likely to face provisional ban in spot-fixing case, reported Roznama Dunya on Thursday.
The corruption scandal is far from over as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) anti-corruption unit (ACU) is not satisfied with Shahzaib Hasan’s statement and is likely to hand over Notice of Charge to the aggressive batsman today.
Shahzaib Hasan recorded his statement in front of PCB ACU on Wednesday in which he revealed that his family was being threatened by the bookies that was why he failed to report ACU earlier.
However, ACU is not satisfied with the statement of Shahzaib and has decided to take action against him as well. According to sources, the opener will be provisionally suspended today after being handed over the charge sheet.
Shahzaib Hasan was not immediately suspended from PSL 2017 because he had informed ACU about the offer that was given to him by the bookie just before the match.
It is pertinent here to mention that Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif, Nasir Jamshed and Mohammad Irfan have already been conditionally suspended from all formats of the game due to alleged spot-fixing in second edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL), and Umar Amin and Zulfiqar Babar might be summoned by PCB soon as their names are also revolving in the fixing scandal.
