LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan on Friday said former opener Nasir Jamshed had refused to meet the board’s representatives in the UK for investigation into the PSL spot-fixing scandal.
Speaking to media earlier today, Khan said the PCB had sent its representatives to the UK to contact Jamshed for progress in the investigation but the suspended cricketer had refused to meet them.
“We have a lot of evidence against the charged players,†he said in response to a question about the hearing by the PCB’s anti-corruption tribunal today.
Jamshed, in an exclusive conversation with Geo News earlier today, denied allegations against him and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the PCB.
“I am willing to cooperate with the PCB but request that the NCA inquiry should be completed first,†he said.
Denying reports related to him in the media, Jamshed said: “I have not changed my residence nor am I hiding from anyone.â€
The PCB on Tuesday formally charged Nasir Jamshed for refusing to cooperate in and obstructing its anti-corruption investigation.
Nasir was charged under two different clauses of the PCB’s anti-corruption code, both related to an individual’s role in the investigation. Surprisingly, Nasir – who was once stated as the main character in the scandal – was not charged with fixing, attempting fixing and contacts with bookies or even encouraging players to get involved in fixing.
