Pakistan’s opening pair of Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif are set to face long bans and heavy fines from the three-member anti-corruption tribunal, formed by the PCB to probe into the spot- fixing scandal in the Pakistan Super League.
The two could face a ban of 2-5 years and a two million rupees fine. “The two cricketers are expected to get similar bans when the tribunal gives its verdict early next month,” a PCB official said.
The PCB has finished its final arguments and filed all evidences against Sharjeel and Khalid, who were sent back from Dubai in February on the second day of the PSL after the anti-corruption unit of the PCB found them involved in suspicious activities including meeting with bookmakers.
In 2011, then Pakistan captain Salman Butt, and pacers Mohammad Aamir and Mohammad Asif were given minimum five-year bans by an ICC anti-corruption tribunal for spot- fixing during the series in England in 2010.
