A PSL technical committee rejected Fakhar Zaman’s appeal against a two-match ban for ball-tampering, upholding the match referee’s decision. The Lahore Qalandars skipper was charged with a level three offence after umpires detected ball alteration, leading to a five-run penalty during the match against Karachi Kings.

Lahore, Apr 3: A three-member technical committee of the Pakistan Super League has rejected opener Fakhar Zaman's appeal against the two-match ban imposed on him for ball-tampering during a match.

The committee held a hearing and after going through all available evidence, upheld the ban imposed by match referee Roshan Mahanama. He had charged the Lahore Qalandars' skipper with a level three offence for changing the condition of the ball.

Zaman will miss his team Lahore Qalandars' match against Multan Sultan on Friday and on April 9 against Islamabad United.

Zaman had based his appeal on the plea that there is no conclusive evidence available to confirm he changed the condition of the ball and the ban should be retracted.
