Reports | Sharjeel Khan not to be considered for selection unless admitting involvement in spot-fixing

Now, after having served the ban, the opener would need to admit his role in the scandal in order to be considered for any professional cricketing action in Pakistan. According to a report by Sportstar, Sharjeel could get back into action as early as September, but would first need to take responsibility for his actions and attend an Anti-Corruption rehabilitation programme before resuming his career.

The report also states that Sharjeel’s lawyer Shaighan Ejaz had already written to the PCB regarding his client's willingness in participating in the rehabilitation programme. Ejaz also brought to notice the fact that the rehabilitation programme in itself contains a clause which says that a player can only be allowed to attend it if he is deemed to have admitted his mistake and shown remorse for his actions.

Sharjeel has represented Pakistan in one Test and 25 ODIs, having last played for his country on January 26, 2017 in an ODI against Australia at Adelaide.
