The PCB has suspended Asif Afridi under its anti-corruption code, after charging the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa left-arm spinner for two breaches including failing to report a corrupt approach. Asif had missed most of the ongoing National T20 Cup, and he cannot take part in any cricket-related activity until the conclusion of the case that is currently under the PCB’s anti-corruption unit.

In similar cases in the past, Mohammad Irfan served a six-month ban, while Nawaz was given a two-month suspension in 2017. Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif received bans for spot-fixing in the PSL while opening batter Shahzaib Hasan was also slapped with a ban after being deemed guilty of failing to disclose corrupt approaches.
