Cricketer Nasir Jamshed jailed over spot-fixing

Pakistan international batsman Nasir Jamshed has been jailed for his part in a spot-fixing scandal.
He was arrested with Yousef Anwar and Mohammed Ijaz last February in a National Crime Agency probe.
Jamshed encouraged other players to fix a Pakistan Super League (PSL) game in February 2018 by getting batsmen to avoid scoring runs from certain balls in return for a share of £30,000.
The three defendants were jailed after admitting bribery offences.
An attempt to fix a Bangladesh Premier League match towards the end of 2016, and an actual fix in the PSL, were uncovered by a police officer who posed as a member of a corrupt betting syndicate.
