KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has fined discarded test opener Yasir Hameed 300,000 rupees ($3,600) and banned him from two domestic tournaments after a controversial interview with the News of the World newspaper.
A PCB official told Reuters that Hameed had been disciplined after telling an undercover reporter from the British newspaper that Pakistan players had been involved in spot-fixing.
Hameed, 32, told the PCB that he had been trapped by the newspaper and had talked to the reporter under the impression he was a businessman who wanted to sign him for an endorsement deal.
Former test captain Salman Butt and pace bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have been banned for a minimum of five years after they were found guilty of spot-fixing by an International Cricket Council anti-corruption tribunal.
