The Pakistan Super League technical committee dismissed Fakhar Zaman’s ​appeal and upheld the two-match ‌ban imposed on the batter for ball tampering, the country’s cricket ​board (PCB) said on Thursday.

The PCB ​had suspended the 35-year-old for ⁠two PSL matches earlier ​in the week after he was ​found guilty of the offence during Lahore Qalandars’ four-wicket defeat by Karachi ​Kings on Sunday, a ​decision Fakhar subsequently challenged.

“In accordance with the ‌Code ⁠of Conduct, any decision made by the PSL technical committee shall be the full, final ​and ​complete disposition ⁠of the matter and will be binding ​on all parties,” PCB ​said ⁠in a statement.

Fakhar will miss Lahore’s matches against Multan Sultans ⁠on ​Friday and Islamabad United ​on April 9.
