KARACHI: The anti-corruption tribunal of Pakistan Cricket Board has summoned opening batsman Nasir Jamshed and the anti-corruption unit of Pakistan Cricket Board for a preliminary hearing on next Friday, informed sources.
Jamshed will have the option of appearing through a video link or can also nominate an authorised person to appear on his behalf for the hearing.
A PCB source confirmed that both the parties, Nasir and PCB’s ACU, are notified by the three-member anti-corruption tribunal, headed by Justice (retired) Asghar Haider, for the preliminary hearing.
In the preliminary hearing, the PCB’s anti-corruption unit will present the opening remarks and with consent of both the parties, the tribunal will set a timeline for the further proceedings of the case.
Jamshed was charged by the PCB for violation of anti-corruption code clauses 2.4.6 and 2.4.7 by the Pakistan Cricket Board, both related to non-cooperation in inquiry.
The opening batsman was initially labeled as main character in the PSL spot-fixing scandal, a charge which is yet to be formally established by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
