KARACHI:
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) yesterday issued a notice to former captain Rashid Latif, seeking evidence to support his media statement regarding Indian bookmaker Annu Bhatt.
Latif had recently claimed that Bhatt, named in leg-spinner Danish Kaneria’s case by the England and Wales Cricket Board, was the PCB’s guest when India and England toured Pakistan in 2005 and 2006 respectively.
“We have issued him [Latif] a notice, seeking evidence for his statement,” PCB’s legal adviser Tafazzul Rizvi confirmed to The Express Tribune.
“We have sought concrete evidence like air tickets and hotel bills to support his claims. If he fails to present proof, we will ask him to tender an apology and will seek assurance from him that no such statement will come in the future.”
Latif could not be approached for his comment until the filing of the report.
