A day after Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif were suspended by PCB's Anti-Corruption Unit, 3 more players - Islamabad United left arm seamer Mohammad Irfan, Quetta Gladiators spinner Zulfiqar Babar and Karachi Kings opening batsman Shahzaib Hasan were questioned by Anit-Corruption Unit of Pakistan Cricket Board.



PSL chief Najam Sethi informed on Saturday via twitter about the development in which the aforementioned players were found under the scanner of the Anti-Corruption Unit and were called for interrogation. Sethi also informed that while the inquiry on Mohammad Irfan will continue, he "does not face any immediate suspension." Shahzaib Hasan and Zulfiqar Babar have been found clean for the time being and will also continue to be a part of the current season of PSL.



Mohammad Irfan is the third Islamabad United player to be put under the scanner after the news about the suspension of Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif on corruption charges broke on Friday. It is likely that the PCB Anti-Corruption Unit will question more players in the days to come.

This is a massive shame to the game of cricket.

The good thing is that PCB is going hard to curb the fixing. Few good players might be lost but thats all worth it in the long run.

I hope if they are found guilty, than they get banned forever. They aren't kids. They know that it's a crime.
