Pakistan fast
bowler Mohammad Irfan has been handed out a one-year suspension and a
fine of PKR 1 million by the Pakistan Cricket Board for his connection
in the PSL corruption case.
Irfan
has been suspended after he violated PCB's anti- corruption code by not
reporting to the PCB Vigilance and Security Department about the two
approaches that were made to him to involve in corruption.
He
pleaded guilty to the charges by submitting a written statement on
Monday (March 27) and then had two meetings with the board. The tall
pacer also requested for forgiveness, while strongly denying any direct
involvement in any fixing activity.
"I
was approached twice and it was my mistake that I did not report it to
PCB's anti-corruption unit," Irfan said. "I admit my mistake for not reporting it to the ACU but I didn't get involved in any corrupt activity and gave a shut-up call to those who approached me
.
"I ask the whole nation to forgive me if anyone is hurt by this mistake of mine. I hope you will forgive me."
