The Pakistan Cricket Board&#39;s (PCB) Anti-Corruption Tribunal Wednesday hit cricketer Shahzaib Hasan with a one-year suspension for his alleged involvement in the spot-fixing scandal that marred the second edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The 28-year-old has also been slammed with a fine of Rs 1 million by the two-member tribunal.

Hasan, who represented Karachi Kings last year, was found guilty of breaching three clauses of PCB&#39;s code of conduct for players- for luring cricketers into spot-fixing, not reporting approaches by the bookies on time and hiding information regarding his contacts with the bookies.

After the verdict was pronounced, Hasan&#39;s advocate Kashif Rajwana said that his client was not handed punishment for luring someone to indulge in spot-fixing but for not informing the PCB about breaching timely, media reports said.&nbsp;

Rajwana further informed that Hasan&#39;s suspension would end on March 17, adding that he would decide about appealing against the decision only after consulting his client. &nbsp;

Earlier in March last year, the PCB had provisionally suspended Hasan and issued a Notice of Charge with immediate effect from participating in all forms of cricket.

Last year in March, a three-member tribunal was formed by the PCB to investigate the spot-fixing case allegedly involving Sharjeel Khan and Latif. &nbsp;

Latif and Sharjeel both were handed a ban of five years each last year after they were found guilty of spot-fixing and other violation of the board&#39;s anti-corruption code.
