Pakistan former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has come out all guns blazing against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Anti-Corruption unit, in wake of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) spot fixing scandal that has rocked the cricketing world.
Lashing out at Pakistan's anti-corruption unit, the Rawalpindi Express said that the unit is comprised of incapable people who failed to tackle corruption.
"PCBs anti-corruption unit is made up of incapable people," Akhtar said, while talking to media. The record breaking fast bowler added that the PCBs anti-corruption officials should have been able to stop the suspended players from carrying out alleged spot-fixing.
"If a stranger had approached these two players in their hotel, then the anti-corruption unit should have been able to stop this, the bowler remarked. These two players, because of their stupidity, brought a bad name to the PSL," he said.

Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif were provisionally suspended by the PCB and PSL authorities, allegedly for corruption in the second edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL). It was learnt that rigorous and wide-ranging investigation by the PCB will continue.
Akhtar further stated that the cricket board had saved the two cricketers from imprisonment. "PCB has saved both players [Sharjeel and Latif] from imprisonment," he said, adding that the players should be thankful to the board.
