PCB never asked FIA to investigate fixing scandal, claims Sethi
PCB only requested FIA to authenticate the data that was recovered from phones of these players.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Super League (PSL) chairman Najam Sethi has claimed that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) never asked Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to conduct investigations against the players who are allegedly involved in spot-fixing, reported Dunya News on Tuesday.
Najam Sethi said that PCB only requested FIA to authenticate the data that was recovered from phones of these players. Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan later took notice of this case himself and directed FIA to start interrogation, added Sethi.
PSL chief further made the issue complex by saying that any investigation of such kind is against the laws of International Cricket Council (ICC). Najam Sethi also blamed media for complicating this case.
