Pakistan opener Nasir Jamshed has threatened to take legal action against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for sullying his name.
The PCB believe that Jamshed is one of the main culprits involved in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) corruption scandal, but the 27-year-old uploaded a video on his Twitter account, asking the board to publicly show what evidence they have against him.
Jamshed added that the PCB are also pressurising other players into testifying against him.
“PCB is being unfair with me as they are pressurising players and and asking them to testify against me,” Jamshed said. “Rather than maligning my name, I urge PCB to offer the evidence and I challenge them to bring all the evidence in public.
“There is something called professionalism and with all this my personal life is being affected. I have already consulted my lawyer and we want to challenge this and are willing to take PCB to court over this.”
Jamshed was arrested by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the United Kingdom in February before being released on bail. He was subsequently charged by the PCB last month.
