LAHORE: The hearing of cricketer Shahzaib Hasan in the PSL spot-fixing case has been deferred till Aug 16 while in the same case, the Pakistan Cricket Board and another accused cricketer Khalid Latif submitted their replies to the anti-corruption tribunal here on Wednesday.

The hearing of Shahzaib’s case has been deferred because PCB lawyer Tafazzul Rizvi is not available in the country.

Meanwhile, Khalid’s lawyer Badar Alam submitted another application before the tribunal, pleading not to reserve the judgment in the case because he wanted more cross-examination with the witnesses.

However, according to PCB legal department, the Board is unaware of the latest application of Khalid’s lawyer.

Five cricketers were named in the spot-fixing case that emerged during the second edition of Pakistan Super League staged earlier this year. Nasir Jamshed, Sharjeel Khan and Moham­mad Irfan are the three other cricketers named in the case.
