Overview
- The Lahore High Court on Thursday rejected Mohammad Rizwan’s petition and directed him to respond to notices from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency.
- The NCCIA is conducting detailed forensic examinations of mobile phones taken from Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq, with initial checks reported as finding nothing major and deeper analysis ongoing.
- Investigators are also reviewing financial-transaction leads and social-media material linked to alleged dressing-room information leaks as part of the inquiry.
- Rizwan had written to the NCCIA seeking clarity about his summons and the seizure of his phone and had contested the agency’s jurisdiction over online-betting questions, but the court declined to block the probe.
- The Pakistan Cricket Board has said it will await the NCCIA report before deciding any disciplinary action or selection changes, a process that will determine near-term impacts on the players and the team setup.
