Corruption Surrounds Pakistani Super League As Chairman Tells Everyone To Calm Down
Chairman of the Pakistani Super League (PSL), Najam Sethi has tweeted for players to get on with the game, and relax, following the suspension of two players; Khalid Latif and Sharjeel Khan over match-fixing scandals.
The two allegedly made arrangements to accept bribes of AED14,000-17,000 per game.
Investigations have been on-going, but Sethi told players to get on with the game.
Sethi tweeted in response to the scandal
PSL has zero tolerance for practices that corrupt or damage the game. No one big or small is exempt. We shall protect this asset of Pak.

It is expected the two Islamabad players will receive a result from the Pakistan Cricket Board in the next 15 days.
It’s not expected that any other players will be suspended.
1/3: No more player suspensions are envisaged during PSL PROVIDED there is no NEW cause for action.

He also said there is no need for more speculation
The league is played in the UAE, for security reasons.
