Ye din bhi aana tha. They arent even superstars yet. Either way its good for PCB to take action now and if they are guilty, punish them as appropriate.
Islamabad United players Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif have been provisionally suspended under the PCB’s Anti-Corruption Code as part of an ongoing investigation into an organisation’s alleged attempts to corrupt the 2017 Pakistan Super League. The PCB’s investigation is being backed by the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit.
“It would not be appropriate to comment on the specifics of the case, however this investigation is a clear demonstration of our determination to drive corruption out of our sport,” Najam Sethi, chairman of the PSL, said. "We will not tolerate any form of corrupt activity and as this investigation proceeds we will not hesitate to take further decisive action as appropriate.
“The investigation of the PCB Anti-Corruption Unit backed by the ICC ACU has been effective in dealing with this case to date and we will continue to work in the closest collaboration as the investigation proceeds. We are all absolutely committed to relentlessly pursuing anyone who would seek to damage the integrity of our sport.”
Re: Sharjeel Khan and Khalid latif suspended for corruption charges
what would’ve been better is to NEVER allow these corrupt players to come back.
Even Asif and Salman Butt should be made examples.
Throw these 2 out permanently if convicted.
Re: Sharjeel Khan and Khalid latif suspended for corruption charges
Nooooo.. Now Irfan is also out for corruption charges. WTH was going on with Islamabad united?
Pakistan’s left-arm fast-bowler Mohammad Irfan on Saturday wassuspended from Pakistan Super League (PSL) over spot-fixing allegations.
Irfan is the third player to be suspended from the league in the past 24 hours over corruption allegations. On Friday night, Irfan’s Islamabad United teammates Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif were suspended over similar allegations.
Re: Sharjeel Khan and Khalid latif suspended for corruption charges
Why is PSL a joke, details please and why is IPL superior and why are you pre emptying the corruption in IPL where the organiser, players and a whole team were involved. Doesn’t excuse what sharjeel did but lets not go overboard.

Nasir Jamshed, the out-of-favour Pakistan opener, has become the third player to be provisionally suspended by the PCB as it continues its investigation into the corruption scandal that hit the Pakistan Super League this weekend.
“PCB has provisionally suspended Nasir Jamshed from all forms of cricket for violating its anti-corruption code,” said a statement issued by the board on Monday.
Unlike Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif - the two Islamabad United players who have already been sent back from the league for alleged breaches of the anti-corruption code - Jamshed was not part of any PSL franchise. Jamshed’s name had cropped up initially in speculation surrounding the news of Latif and Sharjeel’s suspensions. But the exact nature of his involvement has not been made clear.
