Overview
- The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has issued notices to Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq and a third unnamed player after the Pakistan Cricket Board handed over their mobile phones for forensic examination.
- Rizwan and Imam appeared at the NCCIA’s Lahore office on Thursday and sought extra time to submit written responses to questions about information recovered from their devices.
- Sources say investigators are extracting messages, contacts and other phone data and are reported to be reviewing bank transactions tied to the players as part of the inquiry.
- The PCB has opened an internal disciplinary probe, removed coaches and seven players mid‑tour, and issued show‑cause notices to selectors as it reviews selection, fitness and conduct matters.
- No formal criminal charges or public findings have been announced so far and the board and investigators have declined further comment while the enquiries continue, leaving reputational and governance questions for Pakistan cricket.
