PCB will seek life ban on players involved in PSL spot fixing

KARACHI: Seeking an exemplary punishment for the players involved in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) spot fixing scandal, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has demanded a life ban on guilty players.

PCB's legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi, at the conclusion of the anti-corruption tribunal hearing on cases of Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif, said that PCB is seeking the maximum punishment for the players.

"We have requested for life ban and heavy fines on players," Tafazzul Rizvi said.

The PCB's legal consultant further added that they have requested the three member tribunal to announce the verdict without any delay.

On Saturday, Sharjeel Khan submitted his final written argument in the case, denying charges of being involved in any fixing.

According to Tafazzul Rizvi, the PCB has also completed its argument and it is now up to the tribunal to announce the verdict.
