Earlier in August, another opener Sharjeel Khan was given a five-year ban after he was pronounced guilty for his role in the spot-fixing scandal during the recent edition of the cash-rich T20 league.
Sharjeel was given some relief by the board but none of Latif’s sentence is suspended so far, which means the Latif cannot return to cricket till 2022.
