Asif Iqbal summoned by Judicial Commission

KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal has also been summoned by the Judicial Commission inquiring into the match-fixing and betting allegations, to appear before it on March 12 in Lahore. PCB sources confirmed that while Rashid Latif had been called on his request for a in-camera session with Justice Malik Muhammad Qayyum, Asif Iqbal had been summoned through the Board. "Asif has been summoned, since he did not come for the last hearing which was scheduled on March 3. That hearing eventually was not held due to the Justice not keeping well," said one source. However chances of the former captain attending the hearing on the 12th appear bleak, since he would be in Dhaka for the opening day of the Asian Test Championship final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Asif is monitoring the tournament not only as a observer of the ICC, but is also on the tournament committee. Interestingly the summons for Asif come just few days after Sarfraz Nawaz again accused him of pioneering betting in the sub-continent on the 1979/80 tour of India.
