Shaharyar rejects Nasir’s statement

LAHORE: Rejecting the video message of Nasir Jamshed, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan said on Friday the opener had refused to meet the board’s representatives in the UK for investigation into the PSL spot-fixing scandal.

Speaking to media, Shaharyar 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.

Talking about women cricket final, Shaharyar said it was a good omen to have HEC in the final against ZTBL. “The tournament has given good talent,” he said.

Shaharyar said after Misbah-ul Haq’s retirement Sarfraz Ahmed might be given the Test captaincy.

On the Test series against the West Indies, he said Pakistan had a strong Test team because the West Indies’ top players are in IPL.
