PSL: PCB enforces stringent security measures

In a bid to avoid a repeat of 2017’s spot-fixing scandal in the Pakistan Super League, the Pakistan Cricket Board has enforced several stringent anti-corruption measures in the ongoing tournament in the UAE. According to details, the PCB’s anti-corruption, vigilance and security unit has involved a noted website to keep a close watch on any unusual betting trends in the third edition of the PSL. “The website based in London is keeping track of all bets placed on the PSL matches from all over the world and if they notice or pick up any unusual betting patterns on the tournament they will report it to the PCB’s ACU with all details,” a board official said. In 2017, the PSL spot-fixing scandal led to at least six Pakistani players being suspended while two of them, Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif, were immediately suspended and sent back home from Dubai.
