Rawalpindi-based Pakistan Super League franchise Pindiz has denied claims that its owner Ahsan Tahir threatened to withdraw the team from the competition if Pakistan wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan was prevented from playing. According to the franchise's official statement on social media, Tahir never made any comments about Rizwan or the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) investigation.
The Pindiz insists the statements attributed to Tahir are entirely fabricated and requests media organizations to retract the report and issue a public apology. The franchise emphasizes that Tahir has not issued any statement on the matter and reserves the right to take appropriate action against unauthorized attribution of statements.
The controversy arises as Rizwan, along with teammate Imam-ul-Haq, continues to face an NCCIA inquiry.
