Pakistan’s opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad has been charged with ball-tampering with an unidentifiable object during a match in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
The sources have confirmed that the incident took place during the first innings of Sindh against Central Punjab on Day 2 of the match.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday said in a statement:
Central Punjab captain Ahmed Shehzad has been charged for altering the condition of the ball as per the non-identification process, however the decision will be announced tomorrow.
Source further added that field umpires noticed that the ball condition was altered during the initial overs of Sindh’s first-inning but they failed to identify how it happened.
The ball was then immediately changed and both sides were made aware of the decision taken by the on-field umpires.
Ahmed Shehzad has been summoned by the match-referee Nadeem Arshad for hearing on the decision and the punishment will then be announced.
However, sources claim that Shehzad will be fined 50% of his match-fee and might face a possible ban.
