What is the matter?
Following the Pakistan cricket team’s tour of England, the difficulties faced by two players, Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq, have not eased.
Both players recently appeared before the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency in Lahore, where they sought more time to answer questions.
NCCIA sources say the mobile phones of both cricketers will be unlocked in connection with the PCB’s complaint.
The investigation will focus on dressing room leaks during the series against England.
The cricket board had handed over the mobile phones of both players to the NCCIA.
The NCCIA had stopped the lawyers of cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq from entering the premises.
The lawyers said that the NCCIA had illegally summoned the cricketers over a phone call without issuing a notice. They said they had accompanied the players and were allowed to enter the building but were not allowed to go inside.
