[Syed1]

Latif might get off the hook on a technicality since he wasn't even selected to play in the first match.

[Rayyman]

That's what they all say.

[Pollack]

And how will he bring God as witness in the Court.

[Adil_94]

Bringing God into it wont help you. I remember Sharjeel in one of the pre tournament promos was bringing out all the inshallahs and thanking God left right and centre for PSL and how it helped his career and he has proven to be a corrupt cheat.

[Pete Rose]

well since you put it that way....

[The_KING]

Oh be quiet you fool. I hate when all these corrupt people bring God into it to prove their innocence. You are guilty and deserve a life ban and a long jail sentence.

[Cricfan4eva]

Oh boy! now this is some solid alibi he's got.

[The_Odd_One]

Oh boy! now this is some solid alibi he's got.

It is the most easy way out.

Now you are being a god. What evidence have you seen to be so sure?

[Square Drive]

Have a feeling he might just get away.

[Markhor]

Latif may get a lighter sentence given he did not play in IU's match and did not commit the act of fixing unlike Sharjeel.

However he still met with the bookie and did not report the approach. He did verbally agree to the deal with the bookie according to media reports. Whether he has fixed in the past, either at domestic or international level, should be investigated.

[Hamza_]

Latif would be given 5-8 Years ban while Sharjeel Life Banned

[Hasan123]

He agreed to fix so he should get a significant ban and maybe some investigation should be done to see if he fixed in domestic cricket as mentioned above.

Sharjeel deserves a life ban.

[Saj]

Seems in a strange way that he is 'less guilty' than Sharjeel, due to not playing in the first match for Islamabad, but it also looks like he had agreed to be in on it.

[Bewal Express]

It seems that criminals use religious terminology as a get out clause for their criminality. I can remember Butt kissing the turf and starting nearly every interview with Bismillah but having no scruples to commiting criminal acts. It was only a couple of weeks ago that the guys convicted of raping and abusing children in Rochdale shouted Allah o Akbar after they were sentenced.

[Yossarian]

Lets see how those caught rat on each other to try and get their sentences reduced.

On a separate note:
If the who were arrested in the UK decide to open their mouths and cooperate in return for reduced sentences, then it has the potential to rope in many others depending upon which synidicate they were working for.

In the case of the Trio, it was a sting operation, there was no syndicate involved. But in the case of Sharjeel and Nasir Jamshed, it does appear that there is a syndicate involved, a syndicate that has been operating for a while since it (allegedly) has a lot of dirt on Sharjeel that allowed them to pressurise Sharjeel into carrying on fixing.

[HateKiller]

That's what they all say.

including innocent ones.

[kingusama92]

Can thank God he didn't get picked otherwise he'd have brought a smile to his bookie's face too.

Clown.

[Abidi110]

Yes, you didn't do anything wrong since you were not picked to play the match, otherwise you had made a deal with the bookies.

[Cosmic]

What is Bet and why it is banned ? Did they Sold the match ? What is Football betting ? It's getting so complicated ?

What is different between M.Amir act this sharjeel act ? Now Khalid latif saying he did not did it ?

[jog_1]

He may have accepted the offer but because he never got to play in the first match, Latif may avoid a life ban.

We might see Sharjeel being banned for life and Latif for 5 years. Either way, both of their careers are over.

chill bro, cheating is cheating no matter how & where it is done. being a professional sports person you are not allowed to fix anything.

Can you enlighten me ? How come Dhoni's team is innocent in IPL, and one other team.. they just dissolve the teams.. Dhoni did not bet any matches.. is there any proof for that ?

[Pakistanian]

He could be let off, I mean he would in America. He was only arrested for intent but there's no concrete way to prove that he intended to fix unless he had acted on it. He needs a good attorney, he has a good case to get out of this.

[Stumper]

with MSD the issue was he was the co-owner of marketing partner for his frenchise, nothing related to cheating issues was with Finanace.

[rhony]

Betting and fixing are both illegal. People bet on games based on the inside info they receive from fixers. Dhoni's team owner was found betting and was arrested. His team was kicked out. Same case with Rajathan Royals. In addition to those, RR players like Sreesanth fixed the games by accepting bribes and underperforming. This is similar to what the Pakistan trio did years ago. There was no proof of Dhoni betting any games. Was it covered up? No one knows if he did it or if it was covered up. Either way, he is innocent as he wasn't caught. The others were just plain dumb to get caught for peanuts

[Varun]

This might work with some section of fans.

Anybody remember Raza Hasan? A few were willing to let him off the hook after testing positive during a drug test because he played the religion card in one way or another.

[Square Drive]

...Goes on to accept that he was involved soon afterwords...

[Major]

I think khalid has got a good case for himself. He will get away with it.

All he needs to do is get God on the witness stand in court.

[Analyze1]

Bringing God into it wont help you. I remember Sharjeel in one of the pre tournament promos was bringing out all the inshallahs and thanking God left right and centre for PSL and how it helped his career and he has proven to be a corrupt cheat.

why on earth he did this yar whats is this he got hole carrer of head of him i am so sad not fakhior zaman butt and asif need to play

[ask_analyse_act]

I think this suspension is related to an old international match where these two played. Not for the first match of PSL.

[the Great Khan]

Yeah heard it all before. Ban em for life..no 8 years or 10 years otherwise they will forever plague us on stupid tv shows proclaiming their innocence. He should end up a rickshaw driver so it sets up an example for others. Good riddance on moata sharjeel too. Ban them both. No mercy.

[ugem]

He has similar Plea to Nawaz Sharif in the Panama corruption case.

[proud_pakistani]

Latif may get a lighter sentence given he did not play in IU's match and did not commit the act of fixing unlike Sharjeel.

However he still met with the bookie and did not report the approach. He did verbally agree to the deal with the bookie according to media reports. Whether he has fixed in the past, either at domestic or international level, should be investigated.

In Urdu we say "Masoom wohi hai jisko moqa na mila". Only those are innocent who did not get the chance. He would have fixed if he was playing.

[Pete Rose]

Well yeah..he didnt do anything..because if you exclude about agreeing with the bookie, he did not yet get to play.

[shariqnoor]

is it possible that Islamabad United had known prior to the match that Khalid Latif is under the scanner and therefore they didn't play him? Dropping both Sharjeel and Khalid would have raised eyebrows so they dropped only Khalid Latif. Wild theory.

[delpiero10]

Kasmeh bro, I didn't do anything...

Thank You Very Much.. How Come Dhoni's Team Won So Many Time The IPL ? Rest of the team hasn't much Sucess.. There was Pretty Zinta the good heronie never won a single IPL for Punjab Kings I guess... ? Is it coincidence or Team Dhoni was taht good always... !!!

[rhony]

Dhoni had a gun team with two best Indian spinners, one of the best T20 allrounders in Bravo, Good middle order bats like Duplessis, Raina (Indian conditions) along with Matty Hadden, McCullum. He's very good at man management and knows how to win. He was one of the best finishers then. Preity Zinta on the other hand had beauty and Miller along with a declining Yuvraj. Unfortunately, that wasn't a good combo.

[Madplayer]

Khalid is the lesser criminal among the two it seems.

Btw @Abdullah719 's display picture goes nicely with the OP

[Saj]

These guys committ crimes and then remember God.

Disgraceful.
