Imam-ul-Haq Cleared to Play Domestic Cricket Amid Investigation and Injury Claims
Pakistan's cricketer Imam-ul-Haq has been permitted by the Pakistan Cricket Board to play domestic cricket for Oil and Gas Development Company Limited in the President's Trophy Grade-I final. This follows an investigation by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, led by PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi, after Imam was sent home from England during Pakistan's Test tour. Imam faced criticism over a 'fake injury' claim during the Lord's Test, with past allegations of similar behavior raised by former officials and criticism from former England pacer Stuart Broad.
