The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is all set to investigate former batsman Nasir Jamshed for his alleged involvement in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) spot-fixing scandal after getting consent from UK authorities in this regard.
Jamshed had earlier said he wanted to see through the British National Crime Agency's investigation
into a separate case of spot-fixing in which he is also implicated
before he could present himself to the PCB regarding the PSL
investigation.
However, a PCB source said Friday the
board can continue their investigation into Jamshed's alleged
involvement in the scandal as NCA has conveyed it has no objection to a
second investigation being run simultaneously against the former
batsman.
Nasir Jamshed and another man were arrested and
then released on bail in Britain amid an investigation into alleged
spot-fixing in the Pakistan Super League.
Jamshed was suspended in February from competing in any form of cricket.

Chairman Shaharyar Khan had accused Jamshed of having contacts with
English bookies and introducing the two main accused in the PSL scandal
to a fixer.
Shahryar Khan claimed Jamshed was the one who
introduced Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif to a bookie under the pretext
that he was a fan.
Bookies from around the world had
been eyeing the PSL, and that PCB had kept an eye on certain players
from the beginning of the tournament, the PCB chairman had said.
