A decision on Pakistan opening batsman Nasir Jamshed has been finally made by the board in which he was banned for 10 years following his involvement in match-fixing in the 2016-17 season of the PSL. The development was confirmed by PCB on Friday (August 17).

The board has also announced that apart from being banned from international cricket for 10 years, Jamshed cannot hold any managerial position with Pakistan cricket for life. 

The PCB had termed Jamshed as the key figure in the scandal as he recruited the players on behalf of bookies for spot-fixing. "There are some cases which don't make you happy despite you winning it. This is one such. Because a player has destroyed his career due to spot-fixing and failure to report approaches," PCB's lawyer Taffazul Rizvi told the reporters outside the PCB headquarters in Lahore.

Earlier in December, Jamshed was suspended for one year by the board after an anti-corruption tribunal noted he was guilty of "non-cooperation" in relation to the spot-fixing case.

Jamshed is now in the UK on bail after being arrested by the National Crime Agency last year in February for corruption in the PSL's second season. He will have to go through extensive rehabilitation after his ban comes to an end. 

Meanwhile, Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif, Mohammad Irfan, Shahzaib Hasan and Mohammad Nawaz have also been handed out bans of varying lengths.
