Mohsin Naqvi says investigation into Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq nearing completion
The Pakistan Cricket Board chairman stated that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency will submit its findings in a few days.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi said on Thursday in Lahore that the investigation into cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq is nearing its end. According to the Times of India, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) is expected to submit its findings within a few days.
The probe follows the team's 0-3 Test series defeat against England. It centres on allegations that confidential information and internal dressing-room discussions were leaked during the tour of England.
Naqvi confirmed that both players have been permitted to return to domestic cricket while the inquiry continues. He noted that the NCCIA requires more clarity from Rizwan before submitting its report, though he could not provide an exact deadline.
Regarding player contracts, Naqvi said the process for new central contracts has reached its final stage. The previous contracts expired on July 31, and the chairman suggested they might be finalised by tomorrow.
Addressing reports of financial challenges in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Naqvi said franchise owners should not expect immediate profits. He stated that owners must have conducted feasibility reports before joining the league.
Naqvi also expressed confidence in the cricket administration and predicted better results when the next batch of young players is ready in the next six months.
