Suspended left-handed batsman Nasir Jamshed on Friday opened up about the inquiry that is taking place in the UK against him regarding his involvement in Pakistan Super League (PSL) spot-fixing scandal.
The 27-year-old was suspended from all cricketing activities by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) due to a violation of the anti-corruption code following his arrest in the UK by the National Crime Agency (NCA) alongside a bookie.
The duo were released on bail and were asked to report back in April.
Reports regarding his disappearance were then being circulated in the mainstream media, however, in a recently released video message, Jamshed put to rest all such rumours against him.
“Whatever is being said in the media is wrong,” he said. “Neither have I changed my home nor am I hiding from someone. I am ready to cooperate with the PCB but I have requested them to wait till the NCA completes its investigation.”
Jamshed then added that a few PCB officials said “they are in contact with the NCA” and he is ready to come “wherever the board wants him to” after the latter’s investigation is done and dusted.
However, PCB rejected Jamshed’s plea according to the Express News and said that the batsman is required to submit his reply to the bill of indictment within 14 days.
