Mohammad Rizwan’s mobile was snatched by Pakistan’s NCCIA after his England tour, and the Lahore High Court tossed his challenge.
The wicket‑keeper‑batter wasted no time and filed an online appeal to the ICC’s Anti‑Corruption Unit, asking if the board or ICC had any hand in the move.
According to Geo News, Rizwan’s lawyer, Qazi Umair Ali, told the chief justice that the cricketer had been hauled into a hotel lobby post‑Lord’s Test, questioned, and told his phone would return in three hours – a promise still unfulfilled.
The ICC ACU portal request is not a complaint but a plea for procedural clarity, seeking to confirm whether the seizure, transfer to Pakistan and forensic analysis followed the ICC Anti‑Corruption Code.
NCCIA’s probe centres on alleged betting leaks from the dressing room during the England series, with Rizwan and Imam‑ul‑Haq already called in; no findings have emerged yet.
With no verdict in sight, Rizwan’s next move is to answer the notice and cooperate with anti‑corruption authorities, while the cricketing world watches whether this will affect Pakistan’s upcoming fixtures.
