Nasir Jamshed suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board

MNA Sports Desk: Former test opener Nasir Jamshed has become the third player to be suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as part of its ongoing investigation into corruption.

Jamshed joins batsmen Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif, who were provisionally suspended at the weekend and sent home from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Twenty20 tournament being played in Dubai.

The 27-year-old Jamshed, who played two tests in 2013, was not playing in the PSL but was suspended from all forms of cricket for violating the anti-corruption code, the PCB said.

Board chairman Shaharyar Khan also told reporters in Lahore that Sharjeel and Latif had been sent “show cause” notices for “spot fixing not matchfixing”.

Sharjeel is a regular member of Pakistan’s limited-overs team and made his test debut against Australia in Sydney last month, while Latif has played five one-day internationals and 13 T20 matches.
