A Pakistan Cricket Board official has confirmed that former international batsman Nasir Jamshed and another man were arrested and then released on bail in Britain over alleged spot fixing in the Pakistan Super League.
"Jamshed and another man, Yusuf, were arrested by the National Crime Agency," a PCB official said.
Britain's National Crime Authority released an earlier statement saying two men in their 30s had been arrested and released on bail until April in connection with bribery offences as part of an ongoing investigation into international cricket match spot-fixing.
The PCB has already provisionally suspended Islamabad United's Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif from the domestic Twenty20 tournament because of their alleged involvement in the corruption.
Sharjeel and Latif returned to Lahore on Wednesday and faced more interviews with the cricket board's anti-corruption unit.
