Fakhar Zaman Challenges PCB Ball-Tampering Suspension

Pakistan Super League veteran Fakhar Zaman has formally challenged his two-match suspension and hefty fine for ball-tampering, denying all allegations made by the PCB.

The Pakistan Cricket Board suspended Zaman for a Level 3 offence following the Lahore Qalandars match against Karachi Kings, where umpires penalized five runs and replaced the ball.

Despite the evidence presented by match referee Roshan Mahanama, Zaman firmly rejected the accusation during the hearing attended by captain Shaheen Shah Afridi and team management.
