PCB slaps one-year ban and Rs 1 million fine on Shahzaib Hasan

Right-handed batsman Shahzaib Hasan has been banned for one year and also slapped with fine of Rs1 million by the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Anti-Corruption Tribunal on Wednesday.

Hasan, who represented Karachi Kings last year in the Pakistan Super League, becomes the fifth player to be suspended after a spot-fixing probe into the econd edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The 27-year-old opener, who has represented Pakistan in three ODIs and 10 T20I matches, was suspended on March 17, 2017 and charged with four violations of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s anti-corruption code.
The PCB’s anti-corruption unit had charged him for violating three clauses of its anti-corruption code: for luring cricketers into the scam, not reporting approaches by the bookies, and hiding information regarding his contact with the bookies.
