LAHORE: Fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, who had already completed a six-month ban in the spot-fixing case, will deliver a lecture at the NCA here on Wednesday to apprise the Pakistan probables — who have assembled to begin preparations for the upcoming Sri Lanka Tests — of the dangers pose by spot and match-fixing in the game.

All 18 players reported at the training camp on day on.

Irfan was banned for a year with a hefty Rs1 million fine by the PCB after he confessed about a bookmaker he met before the start of the second Pakistan Super League and not promptly reporting the matter to the board.

The sentence carried a six-month suspension, and since Irfan’s conduct was impeccable and the lanky cricketer didn’t breach the PCB code of conduct, he was asked to begin a rehabilitation program.
