LAHORE: Pakistan Super League chairman has claimed that Pakistan Cricket Board never contacted Federal Investigation Agency to conduct investigations against the players who were allegedly involved in spot-fixing.
He further said that FIA was only contacted to authenticate the data that was recovered from phones of these players. It was the Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan, who later took notice of this case himself and directed FIA to start the interrogation, he said.
PSL chief further made the issue complex by saying that any investigation of such kind is against the laws of International Cricket Council. Najam Sethi also blamed media for complicating this case.
Sharjeel Khan and Shahzaib Hasan, who are allegedly involved in spot-fixing, will be investigated by FIA today. Mohammad Irfan and Khalid Latif who are facing the same charges were investigated yesterday.
