Sharjeel claims he’s innocent

LAHORE: Spot-fixing convict Sharjeel Khan Tuesday claimed to be innocent and sought justice from the PCB chief patron. Talking to media in Lahore Sharjeel said there was injustice in his case and demanded fair trial. He vowed to fight against all allegations. “PCB Chairman Najam Sethi should call me to him so that I can clear myself on all matters,” he suggested. Pakistan’s anti-corruption tribunal had banned opener Sharjeel Khan for five years over a spot-fixing case that has rocked the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The 28-year-old dashing left-handed opener was provisionally suspended along with fellow opener Khalid Latif in February for violating the PCB anti-corruption code.
