Khalid Latif likely to face ban up to 10 years for spot-fixing in PSL [Update #935]
The Pakistan Cricket Board have today provisionally suspended two players under its Anti-Corruption Code as part of an ongoing investigation into an international syndicate which is believed to be attempting to corrupt the Pakistan Super League which started in Dubai yesterday.
Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif have been suspended and the rigorous and wide-ranging investigation by the PCB supported by the ICC will continue as part of collective efforts to protect the integrity of the sport.
Najam Sethi, Chairman of the PSL said: “It would not be appropriate to comment on the specifics of the case, however this investigation is a clear demonstration of our determination to drive corruption out of our sport. We will not tolerate any form of corrupt activity and as this investigation proceeds we will not hesitate to take further decisive action as appropriate.
“The investigation of the PCB Anti-Corruption Unit backed by the ICC ACU has been effective in dealing with this case to date and we will continue to work in the closest collaboration as the investigation proceeds. We are all absolutely committed to relentlessly pursuing anyone who would seek to damage the integrity of our sport.”
Chairman PCB, Mian Shaharyar M. Khan said, “I must remind all players of their responsibilities in the fight against corruption. They must understand that if they even think they may have been the subject of a suspicious approach, it is their obligation under the PCB Anti-Corruption Code to report it to an appropriate anti-corruption official as a matter of urgency.”
“Under no circumstances will the PCB condone actions of a few individuals to bring disrepute to the game of cricket or taint the image of Pakistan.”
The PCB and the ICC will not make any further comment in respect of ongoing investigation.

Might be a suspension until further notice so they can investigate?
I could be wrong.

Wth... Hope this is just a precautionary thing and they haven't done anything wrong. Khalid is an experienced guy and Sharjeel would never do something like this. Sharjeel is the most important batsman in our Limited Overs teams

Looks like they were engaged in some betting or some other sorts of corruption. Sad to see Sharjeel in the list.

Which is why we should have banned the trio for life. The fact you can fix get banned for five years and then come back (even in international cricket) just isn't a strong enough deterrent. Fixers could arguably make more money in a few fixing games than in five years (Especially if they are in and out the international team). Take away their entire career though and have life bans, and cricketers will think twice before fixing.

Amir was still treated like a hero throughout his jail time and ban and fans were waiting for him to automatically come back to the team, which he did. All fans and emerging players will see is that he was treated like a hero
Anyways, for this news, it might be a minor thing, lets wait and see

He wasn't treated like a hero, treating him like a hero would mean appreciating his actions. Which no sane person did. People agreed with his ban but some, including a large number of ex-professionals, also argued he should have been allowed back due to his age. Butt and Asif should have been banned.

Jail isn't a punishment for fixing. Most of the others didn't go to jail, the trio got unlucky there. What people will not do next time is to fix in England.
The cricketing punishment was five years out of the game. That's not a strong deterrent. Even the jail time, it was a short jail sentence. If I were in that position I would take a five year ban with a year or so jail time over a life ban. The latter spells the end of your career.
You can not compare this to even an average criminal let alone murders. Those who go to jail find it difficult to get any job. Companies don't want them. Yet these trio are back in domestic cricket, and one into international cricket. If you steal from a bank, they won't rehire you. Yet that's what's happened here.
The trio all deserved a second chance. But not in cricket. There's more to life than just cricket. But it just sets a bad precedent to cricket, and if we are to rid cricket of fixing we have to adopt a no tolerance policy. I would have had life bans of all forms of cricket for Butt and Asif, and a 5 year ban from cricket and a life international ban for Amir (which is showing some tolerance tbh).
We're just bending the rules generally because Amir was so talented. If it were some other cricketer who wasn't very good, I'm sure those same supporters would have wanted him to be banned for life. Representing your country is an extremely high honour, it isn't to be taken lightly.

10th February 2017, 14:27 #31
So according to you, these two saw how Amir was banned for five years and came back, thought hey if we do this and are caught we'll be banned but will still be allowed back? Sharjeel is 28, Latif is 31. A 5 year ban would be as good as a life ban for them. Jails and bannings never act as deterrent. If they did crimes pertaining to fraud, cheating etc would vanish overnight. Greedy people will cheat regardless.

They were not convicted for fixing to lose a match. They were convicted for fixing to bowl no balls .. this type of betting dosent exsist. . IT was was a fake setup and they got cought red handed taking money (bribe) to ball no. balls.

Personally, I don't think any Pakistani Player would do after looking at something which happened with the trio. Aamir only gor out because he was 18, Sharjeel is 28 and has just got a start to his International Cricket, Seems to be an improving and down to earth guy. Very unlikely for him to be involved in such thing
-
10th February 2017, 13:49 #35
i just hope that its because they failed to report an approach by bookies. If they actually agreed to take money to under perform then they should be banned.
-
10th February 2017, 13:52 #36
Looks like they failed to report an approach by bookies. Is that a crime under any law? Can someone please dig that out? Don't want to lose Sharjeel at this juncture

You guys have the wrong way of thinking.
Crucial or not to our ODI team - he should have known better and should not get any leniency for being a "crucial" member of the ODI squad. Everyone from an ATG to a random domestic cricketer should be treated and punished the same when it comes to fixing.

Khalid Latif is part of Karachi mafia so I would not be surprised if he is indeed involved in fixing.
The shocking one is Sharjeel who is from a small city Hyderabad; the big lights has gone to his head and is moving in wrong crowd.

Never could understand, why cricketers do fixing..
May be i am wrong but i dont think it is money..
How much money could he earn by fixing ? He had 70000 pound deal with english county.. Another good psl and he would have been playing all the leagues in the world Plus being a central contracted player and match fee combined, he was making tons of money..
I think they may do it for the thrill of it, the thrill of doing something illegal and getting away with it.

How many Karachiites have been involved in match fixing vs the number of Punjabis?
I can't think of a single person from Karachi that has ever been accused of match fixing.
From Punjab:
Asif (Convicted)
Amir (Convicted)
Butt (Convicted)
Salim Malik (Convicted)
Ata-ur-Rehman (Convicted)
Wasim Akram (Accused)
Basit Ali and Rashid Latif were whistle blowers in the 90s and guess which city they both hail from?

Wasn't Khalid Latif captain of Pakistan team in 2010 Asian Games where we lost to Afghanistan? That match was never properly investigated.

I know fixing is a very delicate and sensitive issue for us Pakistani fans due to the history of Pakistani cricket, however, lets wait to get some further details before jumping to conclusions.
Of course, this doesn't look good for both players, however, remember that as things stand they are not guilty of anything (as far as we know).
As one or two others on the thread mentioned - it may even be something like an approach from a bookie which they did not report. Or may not even be that.

10th February 2017, 14:09 #66
well well well.
lets bring back butt and asif even sooner and keep celebrating the amazingness of amir. serves all the supporters of these criminals right.
looks like there was no deterrent provided by the trio's sentences, and I think its clear now that this bizarrely warm welcome for these criminals by the Pakistani public, fan base and media with open arms and total disregard of their criminality and treason has manifest in the inevitable continuation of corruption - the Pakistani fan base deserves everything its getting. its also astonishing to see how incompetent the pcb's educational programmes have clearly been.
its not worth reading between the leaves, and we should wait till more information is available (its probably the failure to report an approach) but even if they are exonerated, the damage once again is already done in terms of reputation.
ordinary cricket, ordinary cricketers, managerial incompetence and a never ending litany of corruption - Pakistani cricket RIP.
