NCCIA probe into dressing-room leaks and online activities

The NCCIA and PCB security officials had questioned Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-Ul-Haq after Pakistan's disappointing Test tour of England. The investigation started in September 2026, and they investigated suspected dressing-room information leaks, digital activities, and possible online gambling or other integrity-related concerns.

The players' mobile phones were also taken for a detailed data check. The controversy began after Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat in the second Test against England at Lord's. The PCB then took a shocking action during the Test series and sent seven members of the team management and squad home.

Mohammad Rizwan and Imam were among them, while head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul were also sacked by the board. Following an internal disciplinary review, the PCB handed over the players' mobile phones to the NCCIA for forensic examination.

Mohammad Rizwan, Imam still awaiting final report despite domestic cricket return

Both cricketers were later called to Lahore as investigators looked into the suspected leaks, their online activity, and certain financial transactions. The investigation has also been delayed because officials are waiting for further responses from Rizwan.

The PCB had earlier banned the senior Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter from speaking publicly about the matter while the inquiry was still underway. Although neither player has returned to the Pakistan national cricket team, the PCB allowed them to play in domestic cricket.

Rizwan returned to action for SNGPL, while Imam represented OGDCL in the President's Trophy Grade-I tournament. Both players are now waiting for the agency to complete its investigation and submit its final findings.
