The left-hander did not reveal the amount asked from him by his alleged blackmailers, however, he urged his fans to ignore any such controversial videos in the coming days, calling them ‘fake’.

Meanwhile, The Express Tribune has learnt that extortionists have asked the southpaw for a sum of Rs0.2m. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken notice of the incident and directed its anti-corruption cell to take action in this regard.
