In what would further disgrace his already-maligned name,
Nasir Jamshed has been banned for one year after being found guilty of
obstructing the ongoing investigation to catch the players guilty of
spot-fixing. Earlier this year in February, Jamshed was suspended by the
Pakistan Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Code as a result of their
investigation of the 2017 Pakistan Super League.
Jamshed, who is reportedly the prime suspect for the issue,
has, according to DawnNews, been banned for a year after being found guilty of
being an obstruction for the investigation and not cooperating with the PCB.
Earlier, Sharjeel Khan was banned for 5 years for his involvement
in the PSL spot-fixing. However, the length of the ban was shortened to just one
year and eleven months.
Sharjeel is not the only one, however, as Khalid Latif was
also banned for 5 years and fined 10 lac rupees for his involvement in the
disgraceful spot-fixing scandal.
It seems as though Pakistani players are hell bent on worsening their names by embroiling themselves in spot-fixing scandals. As if their names haven’t been tainted enough already, these news and rumours are just going to further fuel the bad name and reputation of Pakistan cricket.
