Mohammad Rizwan Opens Up On Being Investigated By Pakistan Cybercrime Agency

Written by Toshi Pawar

Mohammad Rizwan, senior Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter, finally broke his silence on being probed by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), saying he is just waiting for the investigation to get over. The 34-year-old also hinted that he could very well address the media once the inquiry is complete. According to Samaa.TV, the ongoing investigation against Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq concerns allegations of leaking information from Pakistan’s dressing room, as well as matters related to the team’s recent tour of England.

Rizwan and Imam were among the seven players who were ordered to go back to Pakistan by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the loss in the second Test at Lord’s. Rizwan’s performance in the opening two Tests left much to be desired, with the right-hander returning with 61 runs in four innings.

The agency is also conducting a thorough search of the mobile phone data of both players. Rizwan and Imam had previously appeared before the NCCIA in Lahore, where they were questioned for around two hours over the alleged dressing-room leaks and issues connected to the England tour.

“I am fully cooperating with the investigation. I am waiting for the investigation to be completed,” Rizwan told Samaa.TV.
