 Rashid Latif opposes Sharjeel Khan's possible return to national team

"Domestic cricket should be allowed only after the cricketers have completed their match fixing," Rashid Latif said in an online conversation with the media in Karachi. This was his position at the time of Aamir's return and he has the same opinion about Sharjeel, he is not in favor of returning to Sharjeel's national team.

Former wicketkeeper-batsman said that the rules of the ICC on match-fixing allow players to return after completing their sentences. The boards will follow these rules but the laws of the country must be amended. Many countries have enacted legislation to declare match-fixing a formal offense, which needs to be done in Pakistan as well.

Sri Lanka passed laws against match-fixing in November last year, while South Africa and Australia also have rules against sports-fixing.current world news

Rashid Latif added that cricketers are always involved in match-fixing, are the board officials clean? Why no one asks them, they should also look. The time will come when many things will be hidden.

Former captain of Pakistan cricket team also expressed his views about domestic and former cricketers and said that it seems that PCB has stopped departmental cricket without any plan which has caused a lot of damage. If the department can revise the cricket by revising the decision, it will benefit Pakistan cricket.

He demanded that the pensions of the former international players be started for thirty-five years instead of sixty because even today there are former cricketers who are in financial difficulty, they may look fine but their source is permanent. No income, PCB should think of them too.

On a question, Rashid Latif said that the cricket series between Pakistan and India needs time, but the decision is not the authority of both boards. It is a matter of governments but it is important to have a Test cricket between the two.

Rashid Latif added that Shoaib Malik and Mohammed Hafeez do not have to condemn Ramirez Raja's statement, there is no danger of both places in the team, Ramiz Raja's job is to speak to the players. Focus on your game.
