Pakistan’s cybercrime agency has launched a probe against former captain Rashid Latif for comments on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and its chief Mohsin Naqvi over the matter of changing the national team’s captains frequently.

“Former wicket keeper Rashid Latif has recorded his statement in two inquiries against him in Islamabad and Lahore,” National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) spokesperson Najeebullah Hasan said in a statement issued here on Wednesday.

He said the probe against Latif has been launched on the complaint of PCB senior legal manager Syed Ali Naqvi.

“Shaheen Shah Afridi named ODI captain. Divide and rule policy is a political strategy to gain and maintain power by creating and exploiting divisions within a population, such as religious, ethnic, cricket teams, or class differences,” Latif had written on X.

Latif had also said Pakistan is the only country that cannot even produce a decent captain.

Meanwhile, another application was filed against the legendary Wasim Akram in the NCCIA for promoting a betting app. The NCCIA, however, has yet to issue a notice to the former captain.

I thought they went after him for his allegations on betting/surrogate companies

This doesn’t seem to be the full story
 
This was the story that broke out yesterday:

“Former Captain Rashid Latif Caught in the Grip of National Cyber Crime Agency

According to sources, the National Cyber Crime Agency has initiated formal investigations against former captain Rashid Latif in the context of one-sided allegations of links between the PCB, PSL, PTV, and national cricketers with gambling companies.

The agency has summoned Rashid Latif to its offices in Islamabad and Lahore for an initial statement.
According to the preliminary investigative report, Rashid Latif has been leveling certain serious allegations on social media and YouTube for the past year; however, he has been unable to provide evidence for his claims.

Sources say that no evidence has been found of any affiliation between the PCB, PSL, or PTV and any gambling company.
The agency has also sent him a questionnaire, and action is expected if the required evidence is not provided.

According to sources, if a solid response is not received within the stipulated period or in case of non-cooperation, legal action under the Cyber Crime Act and possible arrest may also be carried out.”
 
Found this floating around on X. Can someone who has good knowledge of the 90s fixing scandal please confirm this?

Would like to have this confirmed. If true, it connects a lot of dots for me

I find Basit Ali equally unreliable and toxic. They both run similar agendas that have caused great harm to Pakistan cricket! So Basit Ali and Rashid Latif are hypocrites if this is true, and they act like the saviours of Pakistan cricket!
 
Digging up history reveals so much:

“The exclusion of Basit Ali on flimsy grounds

By Dawn Sports Reporter

KARACHI, July 6: Discarded batsman Basit Ali couldn't make to the Pakistan team for the Asia Cup because he is said to be involved in match-fixing and betting. This was the argument given by a selector during the selection committee meeting which was held at Lahore on Friday evening.

According to insiders, Zaheer Abbas pressed for the selection of Basit Ali but Haroon Rasheed objected citing the report of Intikhab Alam in which the former manager said: "Basit confessed to me that he once took money to play badly." Basit Ali, it may be mentioned, has not denied Intikhab Alam's report.

What is more interesting is that if that was the objection Haroon Rasheed had against Basit Ali, then why he agreed to pick the stylish batsman for the SAARC Gold Cup that was held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, earlier this year. Basit played innings of 21 not out, 67 and 2 in the three matches he played as Pakistan beat India in the final.

Another point to be clarified here is that the PCB neither issued him a show cause notice nor it suspended him from playing in the 1996-97 domestic circuit in which he scored 784 runs from 21 innings with a century and seven half centuries. Basit Ali, who has represented Pakistan in 49 one-day internationals scoring 1,265 runs, was also selected to appear for Pakistan in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament last year. The same selection committee had finalised the team which was led by another discarded player Rashid Latif.

Investigations further reveal that Waqar Ahmad, Secretary, PCB, also attended the selection committee meeting. Waqar, it may be recalled here that, also sat in the disciplinary committee meeting which heard Aamir Sohail on Thursday. Now he has been made a member of the committee headed by Justice Ijaz Yousuf, and having Khalid Mahmood and Mian Munir on its panel which will probe any accusations if levelled in future. Going through the constitution of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), one finds that there is no provision for a Secretary in the setup. In fact, the word Secretary has been replaced by the word Chief Executive which at the moment is Majid Khan. However, it is a condition in the constitution that the Chief Executive can have his personal secretary which in this case is Waqar Ahmad.

Thus, Waqar Ahmad's appearance in various committee meetings and nomination on a special committee seems to be unconstitutional and illegal.”

Rashid Latif has always come across as a dubious character, carrying an inferiority complex against almost every major player of the 90s era, because he was among the worst performers of that time. To stay relevant, he constantly pushes agendas against former players who are now widely regarded as legends and genuine match-winners.

His pattern is predictable, he criticises PCB for every possible thing on national television because that’s what gets him airtime and money. If a non-performing player is dropped, he blames the PCB; a few days later he invites the same player to his show and again targets the board. This repetitive cycle is his only way of staying in the limelight.

It’s high time people stop giving importance to his inconsistent narratives.
 
Actually Rashid Latif is right, frequent captaincy changes can divide teams in 2-3 camps. Probably facing the agencies for speaking out on a minister who runs the Pak board.

For spreading fake news and creating sensationalism.

Idiots like rashid hear a rumor, they quickly post that on their social media too look like an expert. Like during the world cup, he kept saying he had an insider who told him abrar will be in the squad from reserves.

Him saying dumb stuff like that isnt the issue. Issue is when he starts saying unverified stuff and than indian trolls start using it.

One habit of Indian trolls is they try to find creadibility to use news that is anti pakistani.

For example, during the champions trophy, catches were dropped in Gaddafi, and someone made a random comment maybe the drop happened because of the lighting. Rashid Latif got excited, posted on his socials as if he had an insider who told him that the lighting in gadaffi is a big issue and not upto the mark.

Those days, indians were angry with Pakistan hosting a tournament and every day they were finding and posting any news item that was critical of pakistan hosting the event.

Those dumb lighting tweets by Rashid Latif were a big hit amongst Indians and they start posting it around.

Thats when i started hating Rashid, because he doesnt know how his unverified news creates more problems.

Rashid has never carried himself like a professional international cricketer. Spreading rumours and constantly criticising the PCB and former players seems to be his only forte. It’s rare to see him speak anything positive or constructive.
 
I support Rashid Latif and honestly feel he is one of the good guys in our cricket scene. These days he appears on TV and joins different YouTube shows as a cricket analyst, sharing the knowledge he gained from playing for Pakistan. His job is basically to collect information from different sources and then pass it on to fans. He has always hated the PCB’s nonsense and has tried to expose their issues whenever he can.

Sometimes the information he gets from his sources doesn’t turn out to be correct, but that’s not a big deal. Overall, he has the courage to speak the truth and stand for what is right. Yes, he sometimes overdoes it or gets too focused on exposing the PCB, but I still fully support him.

What’s shocking is that he is being investigated just for having an opinion. But this is how Naqvi and his “friends” operate. If you say something they don’t like, they will try to destroy you. So you really have to pick your sides carefully. Right now, they are ruining everything they touch and acting like dictators who will go to any length to punish anyone who doesn’t support their decisions.

This isn’t what he’s being investigated for. The NCCIA won’t get involved because some ex cricketer has an opinion of why a captain was changed lol

He’s in much deeper s…

The original news that was reported by Pakistani outlets was RL’s claims to how PCB, PSL and PTV are directly involved in promoting surrogate betting companies. Rashid Latif and Nauman Niaz have been running this agenda for 2-3 years now, and they have intensified it with the removal of Rizwan as captain.

Instead of saying Bismillah before speaking Indian commentators have to start in the name of Jay Shah, BCCI and Modi. Even a legend like Gavaskar isn't exempt from this. They can't take any moral high ground here.

My friend let’s be rational. Rashid has been misleading the public with the same antics for the last 25–27 years. What eternal pleasure does he get from extracting internal information through his sources in PCB and leaking it to the media every time? How exactly is this contributing to Pakistan cricket?

Constant mudslinging and criticism might give temporary satisfaction, but it does nothing for the bigger cause. If Rashid genuinely wants to bring change, he should step forward, take responsibility, and work within the system. He can join the PCB in an official role or even enter politics and contest elections if he truly wants to serve the public. Believe me if given responsibility in any role, Rashid cannot last for than a month.

Complaining from the sidelines is easy, building something positive is what actually requires strength.

I don’t really know, I have no real knowledge of which sponsor is a betting company. I don’t even care.I I’m not looking to go and bet.

By constantly highlighting something as a betting app/sponsor on a shirt or banner…you are promoting the company more for those who have no knowledge of it. I honestly had no clue Wolf777 was a betting company until the whole Rizwan drama happened, I was under the impression that it’s a news channel. That’s just my personal layman opinion.

I don’t think 99.9% of PSL viewers in Pakistan (the general public) have the knowledge nor do they have the cash to jam for these things.

That’s an opinion. As far as the legal implications of those companies being advertised on TV and Shirts, I am not an expert of this. This is a legal matter. The RL case will give us clarity on this.

None of our ex cricketers are perfect and they end up saying some stuff on TV or YouTube that our fans don’t really appreciate, but Rashid is someone I genuinely respect. He was never involved in corruption, and he exposed match-fixing in Pakistan cricket back in the 90s. So it’s not surprising that an honest guy like him is now being investigated over something silly. Sadly, this is normal in my country, good people get punished for things they never did, while the corrupt roam free and run the place.

But gambling is prohibited in Pakistan under the West Pakistan Prohibition (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance of 1979.

Basically this is a waste of time, money, and resources, and nothing good is going to come out of it. PCB is overdoing it, first with Ali Tareen and now this. They should focus on fixing the domestic structure and creating a fair system without corruption or favouritism, but instead they keep wasting time, money, and resources on things that don’t matter.

Constantly crying about “honesty” on national television for decades won’t change a thing. Instead of being a problem-solver or a change-maker, he prefers being a loudmouth critic.

He may not be involved in corruption, but that doesn’t automatically turn every rant he delivers on TV into gospel truth. He played for years, yet I’m sure even he wouldn’t remember if he ever won a single meaningful game for Pakistan and still he has the audacity to question the real stalwarts of the game

Lmao, It is you who has no clue. As always, you rush to reply without understanding anything, and then end up getting corrected every single time. It’s honestly hilarious at this point. NCCIA comes after, genius. First PCB sits with their advisors and legal team to decide whether they even want to take the matter forward, and that internal process already costs time and money.

I’m not saying NCCIA works for PCB. My point is simple: PCB still spends resources before anything even reaches NCCIA.
 
PCB should focus on real cricket issues and actually work on fixing them instead of picking fights with Rashid and Ali Tareen. Like I said before, nothing good will come out of this. This is just them flexing their muscles and trying to teach a lesson to anyone who speaks against them. I honestly don’t know how moves like this still find clown fans online who support this nonsense. I guarantee you, nothing good will come out of it.

So the NCCIA is involved and questioning a man because he has been making serious accusations against an institution, and nothing good will come of this?

The PCB does nothing? It doesn’t clear it’s name? It’s your money and resources they are using to clear their name??
 
Why's NCCIA involved in this? From what he has apparently been booked for “Shaheen Shah Afridi named ODI captain. Divide and rule policy is a political strategy to gain and maintain power by creating and exploiting divisions within a population, such as religious, ethnic, cricket teams, or class differences,” this clearly does not fall under a "Cyber Crime". He's just expressing his opinion. That should not be a crime.

This definitely looks like an intimidation act to discourage others from voicing their opinion against the PCB and the establishment. This is what authoritarianism looks like. If you did not like what Latif said, sue him for defamation, why waste NCCIA's time and energy? I suspect NCCIA is only involved because Naqvi, a top-level politician, is the head of PCB and he had the reach to get NCCIA involved. Could you imagine Rameez Raja involving that agency? Such a shame!

Rashid Latif also allegedly claimed Rizwan was removed from captaincy because Hesson doesn’t like him creating a religious atmosphere in the dressing room.

In a country like Pakistan trying to click bait by saying religious atmosphere, Palestine and gambling etc is a dangerous game.

Rashid words could have had disastrous consequences.

This realization has come far too late. For the last two decades, Rashid has consistently ridiculed the PCB and former players on every possible topic on national television. Going forward, he should exercise restraint to prevent any further damage to his already tarnished reputation. He need to take some responsibility in PCB and work on real issues instead of being arm chair critic for lifetime

That’s not going to happen

He will always come up with sly, snarky comments with underlying implications

Do you remember this joker claiming Babar Azam on one leg is better than the entire T20 team selected?

Do you remember his tweet on “modern day cricket” ending when Pakistan lost a T20 to West Indies?
 
Like I said, nothing good will come out of this. It’s just a waste of time and resources, another example of powerful people shutting down an honest man who probably didn’t want to suffer any further and who may have feared that they could even target his family if he didn’t apologize. If he committed an actual crime, then punish him properly or make him pay a fine. But this whole episode was simply about sending a message: no one is allowed to speak against the PCB.

They want to keep running their dirty politics, where good coaches are pushed out and Aaqib is moved from one role to another as if the PCB is his family business. That’s corruption at the highest level. Instead of manning up and telling Gary and Gillespie that they want to go in a different direction and trust Aaqib with Pakistan cricket, they create chaos behind the scenes.

Endless captaincy changes, appointing undeserving captains like Salman and Masood, no clear direction, making Azhar head of youth development and then completely sidelining him to bring in Sarfaraz for the same job and still expecting Azhar to stay quiet. They keep chopping, changing, and doing all kinds of nonsense without any accountability. But the moment someone speaks against them, they go after that person aggressively.

All this will do is silence everyone on TV and YouTube, because now people will be scared to criticize the PCB when they know how far these corrupt individuals might go to make someone and their family suffer. And of course, you’ll still see the clown posters here celebrating this because Rashid was forced to apologize.

It’s a sad situation all around, and like I said earlier, nothing good will come out of this.

What made him think it’s ok to pop up a tweet in support of RL the moment the news broke about his investigation? What was he smoking? Is he linked/friends with RL in the media circles? Do we need to be cautious of his views too?
