Latif gets 5-year fixing ban

Batsman Khalid Latif has been handed a five-year ban for his role in a spot-fixing scandal during this year鈥檚 Pakistan Super League, the country鈥檚 cricket board said yesterday. 鈥淭he Anti Corruption Tribunal has found Khalid Latif guilty of all charges...鈥 the PCB said on its verified Twitter account. The 31-year-old, who has played five one-day internationals, has also been fined 1 million Pakistani rupees (US$9,491), the PCB added. Fellow Islamabad United player Sharjeel Khan also received a five-year ban last month and both were sent home from the Twenty20 competition in the United Arab Emirates after an investigation by the board鈥檚 anti-corruption unit. At least two other players have been implicated in the scandal, while another, fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, was fined and given a one-year suspension in March this year.
