The investigation into Pakistan National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and opening batter Imam-ul-Haq has taken a new turn, with the first forensic check of their mobile phones reportedly failing to find any major evidence.
The development comes as authorities continue to examine allegations of dressing-room information leaks and possible discipline issues during Pakistan’s recent Test tour of England. Earlier, Aaqib Javed breaks silence on exit rumours as PCB shake-up takes fresh turn.
Big relief for Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq? Forensic check finds no major evidence in phone probe
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had seized both players’ phones and handed them over to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) for examination. However, the initial phone check has reportedly found nothing significant, but the wider investigation is still going on, and officials are also checking financial records and bank transactions for any suspicious links.
According to reports by UrduPoint and Geo News, the initial forensic examination of Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq’s mobile phones did not reveal any substantial evidence connected to the alleged leaks on the team’s Test tour of England.
However, this does not mean the investigation has ended. Authorities are continuing with a deeper technical and forensic review of the devices and other available information.
The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) is also looking into the players’ bank transactions and financial records as part of the wider probe. The aim is to check whether there was any unusual financial activity connected to the allegations.
NCCIA probe continues against Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq
Both Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq had earlier appeared before the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Lahore, where they were questioned for several hours. Their mobile phones were later taken for forensic examination as the investigation moved forward.
The controversy has also affected their cricket careers. Both players were left out of Pakistan’s Test squad amid the disciplinary inquiries. They later missed the opening round of the domestic President’s Trophy after failing to clear the mandatory fitness tests.
Currently, the investigation is still ongoing, with authorities continuing to examine both digital and financial records before reaching any final conclusion over Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq. Amid this, Rashid Khan reveals what makes Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dangerous at 15.
Mohammad Rizwan raises big questions during NCCIA Probe
Meanwhile, Mohammad Rizwan has raised fresh questions during the ongoing investigation into alleged information leaks involving Pakistan’s Test tour of England. It is being said that the senior wicketkeeper-batter has fully cooperated with the probe but has also asked why he was summoned by the NCCIA.
The former Pakistan captain also questioned why his mobile phone had not been returned after it was seized by the PCB and handed over to authorities. The 34-year-old was questioned along with Imam-ul-Haq, while their financial dealings during the tour were also checked.
Both players were among seven cricketers sent home during the England series, which Pakistan lost 3-0. Rizwan has played 47 tests, 103 ODIs, and 106 T20Is, but he is currently out of Pakistan’s squad across all three formats, and the ongoing investigation puts his future in jeopardy.
