The board has expanded the scope of investigation against Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan after the defeat in the Lord’s Test, while if solid evidence is found, they may face heavy fines and bans. In addition to the activities of the two cricketers, it is also being checked with whom the two players were in contact.
It is also not out of the question that they may not get a chance to play for the Pakistan team in the future. Reliable sources say that after the 194-run defeat in the Lord’s Test, the team’s security officer took possession of the mobile phones of the two players upon reaching the hotel and after several hours, the data was transferred to another place and the phones were returned to them.
When contacted, a spokesperson for the Pakistan Cricket Board refused to confirm this.
