In an official statement, PCB stated: “On 12 September 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Council provisionally suspended Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s left arm spinner Asif Afridi with immediate effect under Article 4.7.1 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code, which means that he cannot participate in any cricket-related activities, pending the conclusion of the investigation being conducted by PCB’s Anti-Corruption Unit.”
