Rizwan, Imam to miss President's Trophy
On Friday, Pakistan batters Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan were ruled out of the upcoming President's Trophy Grade-I after failing to provide mandatory fitness-test reports, sources reported.
Departments failed to submit these documents to the Pakistan Cricket Board , rendering the stars ineligible for first-class cricket and leaving their teams without mandatory documentation.
Scheduled to captain OGDCL and SNGPL respectively, Imam and Rizwan were set to lead in the President's Trophy beginning Saturday across Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Abbottabad, and Peshawar.
Forensic analysis of mobile phones is underway as The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency probes the cricketers regarding suspicious financial transactions, compounding their uncertainty.
Missing the tournament threatens their central contracts, as the PCB mandates players appear in at least five domestic matches; this financial inquiry further complicates their immediate future.
NCCIA's investigation is investigating the aspects of financial records, mobile data and alleged leaks of information from dressing rooms. At present, no accusation has been proved against Mohammad Rizwan and Imam ul Haq.
