According to a PCB statement, Hasan has been “provisionally suspended with immediate effect from participating in all forms of cricket”.

The player has been granted 14 days to respond to the charges against him.

“PCB ACU’s [anti-corruption unit] investigations into corrupt practices will continue,” said the board’s press release.

The development in the fixing scandal probe comes a day after the anti-corruption unit of the PCB questioned Shahzaib for three and a half hours during a hearing without being able to reach a decision whether to serve him a notice of charges.
