LAHORE
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan on Friday said former opener Nasir Jamshed had refused to meet the board’s representatives in the UK for investigation into the PSL spot-fixing scandal.
Speaking to media earlier today, Khan said the PCB had sent its representatives to the UK to contact Jamshed for progress in the investigation but the suspended cricketer had refused to meet them.
“We have a lot of evidence against the charged players,” he said in response to a question about the hearing by the PCB’s anti-corruption tribunal today.

PCB: Jamshed
In an exclusive conversation with private news channel, former Pakistan opener Nasir Jamshed has denied allegations against him and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
“I am willing to cooperate with the PCB but request that the NCA inquiry should be completed first.”
Denying reports related to him in the media, Nasir Jamshed said: “I have not changed my residence nor am I hiding from anyone.”
PCB on Tuesday formally charged Jamshed for refusing to cooperate in and obstructing its anti-corruption investigation.
Nasir has been charged under two different clauses of PCB’s anti-corruption code both related to individual’s role in the investigation. Surprisingly, Nasir – who was once stated as the main character in the scandal – is not charged with fixing, attempting fixing and contacts with bookies or even encouraging players to get involved in fixing.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has today issued a Notice of Charge to Nasir Jamshed for violation of Articles 2.4.6 and 2.4.7 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code requiring him to respond within 14 days,” said a statement of PCB.
Both the clauses are related to an individual’s role in ongoing investigations of the case and both carry a different level of penalties if charges are proven.
