Former Lahore High Court judge to hear Saleem Malik’s appeal

Former Lahore High Court Justice Justice Fazal-e-Miran Chauhan (retd), in his capacity as an independent adjudicator, will hear Saleem Malik’s appeal in the matter relating to the contents of the April 2000 conversation transcripts provided by the International Cricket Council, which, according to the PCB, Malik has failed to respond to till date.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will share further details in relation to the date and venue for the hearing as soon as they are confirmed by Justice Chauhan.

Earlier, the ex-cricketer had claimed that the board is trying to make his matter more convoluted, while stating that he had answered all the questions in the transcripts to the best of his knowledge.

The 57-year-old was handed a life ban by the PCB as a result of Justice Qayyam's report, in 2000, for match-fixing, which was lifted in 2008 by a Civil Court in Lahore.

Malik scored 5768 runs in 103 Test matches and 7170 runs in 283 ODIs for Pakistan.
