PSL technical committee upholds two-match ban on Fakhar Zaman for ball-tampering

A three-member technical committee of the Pakistan Super League has rejected opener Fakhar Zaman’s appeal against the two-match ban imposed on him for ball-tampering during a match.

The committee held a hearing and after going through all available evidence, upheld the ban imposed by match referee Roshan Mahanama.

He had charged the Lahore Qalandars’ skipper with a level three offence for changing the condition of the ball.

Zaman will miss his team Lahore Qalandars’ match against Multan Sultan on Friday and on April 9 against Islamabad United.

Zaman had based his appeal on the plea that there is no conclusive evidence available to confirm he changed the condition of the ball and the ban should be retracted.

The match referee held two hearings with him after the Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings.
