LAHORE: Pakistan all-rounder Muhammad Nawaz appeared before the anti-corruption tribunal of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as a witness for the body in the spot-fixing case against batsman Nasir Jamshed here on Tuesday.

Nawaz is the third witness of the PCB against Nasir, who has reportedly said that the left-hander had made a contact with him before the start of the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) 2017 season and during the Pakistan’s tour of Australiaoffered him spot-fixing deals.

Nawaz repeated the same statement before the tribunal. PCB has already produced two witnesses against Nasir, including its director security and anti-corruption department retired Col Azam Khan and GM Legal affairs Salman Naseer.

In contrary, Nasir has no witness in this case and he could also not appear before the tribunal in person because his passport is seized by England’s National Crime Agency.

On Wednesday, an official of the Agency will also appear before the tribunal via Skype.
