Pak batsman Nasir Jamshed faces corruption charges

Karachi [Pakistan]: The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) anti-corruption unit has charged opening left-handed batsman Nasir Jamshed with five violations of the board’s Anti-Corruption Code.

Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif were suspended for five years, while Mohammad Irfan and Mohammad Nawaz were handed a 12-month ban in the same case.
