• Undisclosed IPL player reports corrupt approach

An unnamed cricketer participating in the National T20 Cup has reported a corruption approach during the tournament.

The identity of the player or the team they represent has not been revealed.

Upon reporting the incident, the PCB's Anti-Corruption Unit have launched a formal investigation.

Additionally, they have enlisted the help of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to assist with their inquiries.

"Following the report, the PCB Anti-Corruption Unit carried out its own probe and unearthed some sensitive information, which has been forwarded to the FIA, which has the required expertise, resources, capabilities and powers to investigate such matters," said the PCB director of anti-corruption and security Asif Mahmood.

"We are all aware that the game is at risk due to a small number of corrupters who try to entice cricketers for their personal gains and benefit. 

"But there is also no doubt that we can collectively defeat these people if the players strictly abide by the anti-corruption protocols and continue to report approaches to the anti-corruption officers."
