PSL spot-fixing: Nasir Jamshed challenges PCB’s suspension

KARACHI: Opening batsman Nasir Jamshed has challenged the provisional suspension imposed on him by the Pakistan Cricket Board for his alleged links with the Pakistan Super League spot-fixing scandal.

Nasir’s counsel Hassan Iqbal Warraich on Monday wrote to the chairman of PCB’s disciplinary panel of PCB, challenging the provisional suspension and terming the letter of suspension as “impugned letter”.

Nasir was suspended by the PCB on February 13 after the scandal came into limelight. It was reportedly said that Nasir introduced an alleged bookie to the players.

“My client challenges the impugned letter on the grounds that the impugned letter is not only harsh but is an oppressive step to the detrimental of fundamental rights of my client guaranteed in the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan,” Warraich wrote in the letter addressed to chairman of PCB’s disciplinary panel.
