Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has been granted permission to resume domestic cricket by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) amid an ongoing inquiry into allegations of online betting, gambling, and the leaking of dressing-room information. The decision allows Rizwan to participate in the ongoing Presidents Cup first-class tournament, with the fifth round commencing on Monday.
Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez confirmed that he received an email from the PCB's domestic department authorizing Rizwan to play from October 19. Rizwan, who has represented Pakistan in 47 Tests, 103 ODIs, and 106 T20 Internationals, had previously been barred from domestic cricket after being called back from England following the second Test in August, alongside fellow batter Imam-ul-Haq.
Both players were questioned by the National Cyber Crime Cell (NCCA) over alleged leaks of dressing-room information and issues related to online betting and gambling.
