New Delhi: Even as one of the prime accused in the sensational PSL spot-fixing controversy Sharjeel Khan denied any wrongdoing, Shoaib Akhtar came up with a practical suggestion to stop corruption in Pakistan cricket.

The former Pakistan fast bowler on Wednesday shared a video of himself talking in a function, wherein he has elaborated “another suggestion on how to curb corruption in Pakistan cricket.”

The 41-year-old suggested organisers and officials to close the hotels where the teams are staying so as to stop from interacting with bookies.

He added that if the names and identities of the bookies are known, the same should be disclose to help fight the crime.

The Rawalpindi Express also came up with the idea of banning phone during tours and tournaments.

During the address, he also claimed that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has saved provisionally suspended batsmen Sharjeel and Khalid Latif from possible imprisonment thanks to the board's poor investigation.

“PCB has saved both players [Sharjeel and Latif] from imprisonment,” he was qouted as saying.

“PSL fixing case should be resolved as per the law and should be investigated thoroughly [for future as well],” he added.

Earlier, he had suggested that it should be “treated as national calamity” for Pakistan.

Match fixing scandal must b treated as national calamity. Investigation shud b done by an independent Govt. agency rather than ICC or PCB.
