Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq have been summoned by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency following their return to Pakistan from a Test tour in England. The agency intends to examine data retrieved from the players' mobile phones, which were previously seized by the Pakistan Cricket Board. This development follows the PCB's decision to release seven players from the squad after a 194-run loss against England at Lord's. The board is also conducting an internal inquiry into the original selection of Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq for the England and West Indies tours. A third, unnamed Pakistan cricketer has also been issued a notice by the agency as part of the ongoing probe. The PCB has not yet provided a reason for the initial seizure of the mobile devices.
