New Delhi: Even as one of the prime accused in the sensational PSL spot-fixing controversy Sharjeel Khan denied any wrongdoing, Shoaib Akhtar came up with a practical suggestion to stop corruption in Pakistan cricket.

The former Pakistan fast bowler on Wednesday shared a video of himself talking in a function, wherein he has elaborated “another suggestion on how to curb corruption in Pakistan cricket.”

The 41-year-old suggested organisers and officials to close the hotels where the teams are staying so as to stop from interacting with bookies.

He added that if the names and identities of the bookies are known, the same should be disclose to help fight the crime.

The Rawalpindi Express also came up with the idea of banning phone during tours and tournaments.

During the address, he also claimed that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has saved provisionally suspended batsmen Sharjeel and Khalid Latif from possible imprisonment thanks to the board's poor investigation.

“PCB has saved both players [Sharjeel and Latif] from imprisonment,” he was qouted as saying.

“PSL fixing case should be resolved as per the law and should be investigated thoroughly [for future as well],” he added.

Earlier, he had suggested that it should be “treated as national calamity” for Pakistan.

Later in the day, Pakistan media reported Sharjeel denying any wrongdoing.

“I have not done anything wrong. Everything will get clear soon,” he was quoted as saying by Geo.tv.

The PCB on Saturday charge-sheeted Sharjeel and Latif under its anti-corruption code and gave them 14 days to respond to the charges.

Both the pleaded not guilty and denied any role in spot-fixing during the Pakistan Super League.

The controversy rocked the fledging tournament which has so far served as an alternative to Indian Premier League for Pakistan cricketers, who are not allowed in the the uber successful tournament run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
