Pakistan batsman Nasir Jamshed has been sentenced to a 17-month jail sentence on Friday (February 7) for his involvement in a spot-fixing scandal in the Pakistan Super League.
Nasir Jamshed is standing trial at Manchester Crown Court, following his arrest in February 2017 alongside two UK nationals, Yousef Anwar and Mohammed Ijaz.
The PCB's statement came on a day when an independent adjudicator, Retired Justice Mian Hamid Farooq, upheld the 10-year ban on Test cricketer Nasir Jamshed.
The PCB had charged Jamshed with violating seven of its anti-corruption codes and believed he was the main cricketer behind approaching and soliciting other players for spot-fixing.
Jamshed was found guilty of seven breaches of the anti-corruption code during the second edition of the Pakistan Super League in 2017.
The PCB filed a chargesheet against Nasir, 28, last week with the anti-corruption tribunal containing six allegations against the opener who resides in the United Kingdom now.
Jamshed was also arrested in Britain by the National Crime Agency last year in connection with the PSL investigation before he was released on bail.
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.
The PCB said Jamshed had played a central role in the scandal and that the board's Anti-Corruption Tribunal had found the batsman guilty of breaching its code of conduct.
The PCB had suspended three other players, Muhammad Irfan, Shahzaib Hasan and Muhammad Nawaz in the PSL case.
