It is being told that PCB has confiscated the mobile phones of some Pakistani players. According to Pakistani media, before the third and last Test, the players have handed over all their electronic gadgets to the PCB, which will remain with the board till the end of the match.

There is no shadow of match fixing!

After this decision of PCB, questions are being raised whether Pakistan cricket is under the shadow of match fixing. In fact, during any series, the Cricket Board orders confiscation of players’ mobile phones only when there is suspicion of any kind of corruption. There is also a question whether PCB is afraid of match fixing, due to which this step has been taken.

What is ICC’s rule?

ICC (International Cricket Council) has very strict rules regarding the use of mobile phones by players in international cricket. According to the rules, players and support staff cannot use mobile phones or any other communication device in restricted areas including the dressing room during the match. According to the rules, as soon as all the teams reach the match venue by bus, they have to immediately deposit their gadgets. At the same time, everyone is returned after the match. However, confiscation of mobile phones of players by PCB is different from ICC rules.

PCB confiscated players’ mobiles?

Many questions are being raised regarding the PCB’s decision before the last Test on the England tour. The question of fans is whether PCB has received information about any major corruption or match fixing? Have the phones of all the players been confiscated or has this been done with only a few players? What investigation is the board doing in this matter?

When will the third test take place?

The third test match between Pakistan and England will be played from 9th September. This match will be played at Edgbaston ground in Birmingham. In this match, Pakistan will try its best to win. Before this, Pakistan had to face a crushing defeat against England in two matches.
