Latif banned
LAHORE. — Pakistan cricket’s anti-corruption tribunal yesterday banned opener Khalid Latif for five years and fined him one million rupees ($9 489) over a spot-fixing case, the second casualty after teammate Sharjeel Khan was banned late last month.
“Latif is banned for five years and fined one million rupees after the proceedings of the case,” the three-member tribunal announced. The 31-year-old has played five one-day internationals and 13 T20Is, the last of which was against the West Indies in Abu Dhabi in September 2016.
In August, Sharjeel was banned for five years, with two-and-a-half years suspended, for his role in the spot-fixing scandal. Latif had been charged with breaching six clauses, including the serious offense of luring other players to take part in fixing.
