Any evidence of such activity could potentially widen the investigation and put further pressure on the PCB. At present, though, the available information does not establish that Rizwan, Imam or the other unnamed player has been involved in match-fixing.The development comes after Pakistan endured heavy defeats in the first two Tests of the England series. Following the loss at Lord’s, the PCB released seven players and two coaches, including Rizwan and Imam, in a sweeping shake-up of the Test setup.

In a surprising turn of events, Pakistani cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq have been summoned for questioning by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency. This inquiry comes shortly after their return from a disappointing series defeat. The agency plans to analyze data from their mobile phones, previously secured by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
