PSL Fixing Scam: Mohammad Irfan Seeks One More Day To Submit His Response Before PCB

Provisionally suspended Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, who appeared in Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday, has asked its national cricket body; Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), to give him one more day after failing to submit his response – to the cricket board as he was charged for being allegedly involved in the spot-fixing scandal during the second edition of Pakistan Super League in the United Arab Emirates last month.

Irfan was supposed to submit his reply to the PCB’s Anti-corruption Unit after 14 days, but at the end of the deadline, he appeared at the Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday afternoon to ask for the permission of one more day for submission of his reply.

Earlier, PCB has given 14 days to the lanky fast bowler Irfan to submit his reply before the PCB’s Anti-Corruption Unit, but the 34-year-old right-arm fast bowler Irfan visited the PCB’s head office to defend himself while asking for an extra day to submit his reply on March 29 (Wednesday).

The Punjab-born bowler Irfan is facing the charge for not informing the cricket board after bookies approached him during the PSL edition in Dubai.

However, Irfan could face the ban from six months to a lifer if found guilty by the ACU of PCB.

Irfan, who was grilled earlier this month, had to hand over his cell phone and other relevant details to the investigators.

Irfan has played 60 One-day Internationals, 20 Twenty20 Internationals and 4 Tests for Pakistan since making his debut in 2010.

In February, soon after the inaugural match of this PSL season between current champions Peshawar Zalmi and former champions, Islamabad United Irfan was also accused of meeting with the bookie alongside Sharjeel and Latif, but he was allowed to play after initial probe with Shahzaib Hasan.

On the other hand, PCB also suspended Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif during the initial investigation which was followed by the provisional suspension of Shahzaib Hasan and discarded batsman Nasir Jamshed, who was in London while facing the charge of being a ‘facilitator’ in the fixing saga.

According to a report, bookie’s name was revealed as Mohammad Yousuf, who is based out in London.

The left-handed batsman Jamshed will also be quizzed by PCB’s ACU as he was not available in the country after British authorities declared his passport null and void.

The 27-year-old Jamshed is expected to be grilled next week over the PSL fixing scam.
