Pak cricketer Sharjeel Khan gets a 5-year ban for spot-fixing

Pakistani cricketer Sharjeel Khan was slapped with a five-year ban over charges of spot-fixing in the Pakistan Super League. A 3-member anti-corruption tribunal formed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) pronounced the verdict according to which the player will be suspended from playing all forms of cricket for next two-and-half years and will be put under close observation for the rest of the term.

Suspecting of their involvement in spot-fixing during PSL's opening match, a separate tribunal was formed to probe Sharjeel and Khalid.
