A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official revealed that two of the country’s cricketers have recently been approached by a bookmaker, during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2018 tournament. The official, according to ANI, said that the two cricketers were targeted by the bookmaker using social media websites. The cricketers immediately exported the approach to the national cricket board. The approach to the two cricketers this year is yet another episode in the T20 League organised by PCB, which was hit by spot-fixing scandal last year leading to suspension of several players.
