Karachi (May 22, 2107): 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.

The letter has also accused the PCB of misusing and bulldozing its own anti-corruption code while suspending Nasir Jamshed.
“The PCB, while provisionally suspending my client, has not only misused but also bulldozed the very intent of article 4.7.1 of the anti-corruption code,” the letter says.
The letter adds that Nasir was never charged for the corruption and there were no exceptional grounds available for PCB to suspend him.
“It is also pertinent to mention here that the impugned letter does not carry even a single ground justifying the suspension of my client,” it reads.
The PCB, after suspending Nasir in February, charged him in April for violating clauses 2.4.6 and 2.4.7, both linked with non-cooperation with the investigations.
