WEB DESK: Pakistan’s dashing opener Sharjeel Khan, who was suspended and sent back home after the start of the second Pakistan Super League edition in Dubai in February 2017, will be eligible to play cricket again from August 10, 2019.
The left-handed opener is said to be keen to get permission from the PCB for relaxation to resume playing club and domestic cricket before the official expiry of his ban.
Pakistan’s discarded opener Nasir Jamshed was named as a key suspect in the PSL spot-fixing scandal last year and is suspected of having introduced Sharjeel, Khalid Latif and other players of the Pakistan team to the bookies.
Khalid Latif has also been banned for five-years by the PCB’s tribunal but he can’t be eligible to play again until 2021 while Nasir was handed a ban for 10-years by the PCB’s tribunal.
