Overview
- NCCIA officials told reporters on Sunday that their forensic work on Mohammad Rizwan’s seized phone has been delayed because investigators have not secured consistent cooperation from him.
- Imam-ul-Haq has cooperated with investigators and a forensic analysis of his mobile phone is now under way, the agency said.
- Both players had their phones seized after Pakistan’s Test series in England and were among seven squad members removed from the tour following poor results.
- Rizwan’s camp says he first received a message by WhatsApp, has asked the agency to clarify the allegations, and will consult his lawyer before appearing for formal testing.
- No formal findings or charges have been announced and the NCCIA says its next steps could include a formal notice to Rizwan and further legal action if he does not cooperate, with any board disciplinary decisions to follow the forensic report.
