Pakistan Cricket Board's anti-corruption unit (ACU) and Security department has summoned suspended cricketer Khalid Latif on May 2, to clarify his position regarding allegations leveled by him in his letter to the PCB vide letter dated April 24. A spokesman of the PCB said here on Saturday that the board has acceded to all permissible requests by Khalid Latif and extended full cooperation as permitted under the anti-corruption code.

However, Khalid's actions appear to be solely aimed at frustrating and obstructing the ongoing investigations, the spokesman said. It may be noted that Khalid Latif is among those cricketers who were allegedly involved in the spot-fixing during Pakistan Super League in Dubai in February. The spokesman said there is no legal impediment against PCB in continuing its investigation under the Code. In accordance with the provisions of Article 4.3 of the Code, Khalid has been directed again to appear before the PCB Vigilance and Security Department on May 2 (Tuesday).
