Sharjeel reveals how he got 'tricked' into meeting bookie

Says suspended duo got up and left as soon as they realised what he was up to

Suspended opener Sharjeel Khan has denied match-fixing allegations levelled against him and is adamant he and his alleged accomplice, Khalid Latif, have done nothing wrong.

"We have done nothing wrong; things will get clear very soon," reported Express News.



The 27-year-old Sharjeel further revealed that the bookie, with whom a meeting had been set on the insistence of out-of-favour Pakistan batsman Nasir Jamshed, had disguised himself as a fan and the moment the two players got wind of what he was up to, they immediately left.

"Nasir insisted that we meet with this guy and said he was a fan. We got up and left the moment we realised what he wanted. We have done nothing wrong," said Sharjeel.

Sharjeel and Latif have been suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board's Anti-Corruption Unit for their involvement in corruption in the ongoing PSL while the PCB issued a charge sheet on Saturday and gave the players two weeks to respond to the charges.
