The Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) anti-corruption unit on
Friday interrogated Mohammad Sami after receiving information that the
fast bowler has been involved in spot-fixing, a board official said.
Sami,
who was playing in the Bangladesh Premier League, had been called in by
the PCB's ACU for questioning in light of allegations of spot-fixing.
He appeared before the board earlier today.
PCB General
Manager Legal Affairs Salman Naseer told reporters the ACU has completed
initial investigation of the matter after questioning Sami for two
hours.
PCB has not issued a show-cause notice or charge sheet to the player as yet, the official said.
The board has also given clearance to Sami to play in the T10 league, which will take in Dubai.
"Some information was required from Sami, which is why he was summoned," Naseer said.
He
said Sami had answered the questions that he had been asked and
provided the requisite information. ACU head Col. (retd.) Azam Khan will
analyse the information to determine whether any action needs to be
taken.
Over the past year, PCB has taken action against a number of players for involvement in spot-fixing.
Mohammad
Irfan was suspended in March in the aftermath of the Pakistan Super
League (PSL) spot-fixing scandal. Irfan was suspended for six months for
failing to report a solicitation from two bookies during the PSL
tournament.
In August, the ACU had awarded Sharjeel Khan a five-year ban in the PSL spot-fixing case. A month later, Khalid Latif, too, was banned for five-years in the same spot-fixing case.
