Khalid Latif Gets Some Relief as PCB Shows Leniency After Appeal

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a decision on the review appeal in the Khalid Latif case.

The former Pakistan and Islamabad United opener was handed a five-year ban and Rs. 1 million fine by the Anti-Corruption Tribunal.

Khalid Latif filed an appeal in front of PCB against the decision and finally got some relief.

PCB legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi, speaking to media after the latest development, emphasized that the ban is intended to serve as a deterrent to others.

The board [is not fond of] slapping [such bans]. It does so in order to set an example [to others as a deterrent].

In the latest decision, PCB has waived the Rs. 1 million fine imposed on the cricketer. However, he is still banned from playing any form of cricket for at least five years.
