Pakistani opener Sharjeel Khan might return to action by the end of this year, as reports suggest. The left-handed batsman issued an unconditional apology to the Pakistan Cricket Board today.
Sharjeel Khan was suspended by the board from playing the game in 2017. He involved in PSL Spot-fixing scandals and this led to the downfall. In a move to resurrect his career, PCB demanded an unconditional apology to which he responded on a positive note.
Sharjeel issued an apology that read, “I offer my unconditional apology to the PCB, my teammates, fans and family for the irresponsible conduct that brought embarrassment to everyone.“
The rehabilitation period will commence in a few days” time for Sharjeel Khan. This period involves attending lectures from PCB”s Anti-Corruption unit. However, in all likelihood he will not be a part of the immediate Pakistan tour as the process might take a few months.
Sharjeel Khan- A hard-hitting opener
The 30-year old represented Pakistan in 41 games across all three formats. He amassed over 1200 runs combined which came at a very healthy strike-rate.
On the other hand, it will be interesting to see where he would cement his spot. The opening combination of Imam-Ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman has been doing the things well for the side. With Sharjeel”s return, a renovation might take place to build a stronger side.
