LAHORE, 12 September 2026 (Ghufran): Pakistan cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq will reportedly be unable to participate in the upcoming President’s Trophy Grade-I after failing to submit mandatory fitness-test reports to their respective departmental teams. According to sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made fitness testing and submission of fitness reports by departmental teams compulsory for players seeking to participate in first-class cricket. Sources said that neither Rizwan nor Imam underwent the required fitness tests with their departments, leaving their respective teams without the necessary reports. As a result, the two cricketers are currently considered ineligible to feature in the tournament, which begins on September 12. Rizwan was named vice-captain of SNGPL, with Shan Masood appointed captain. However, with Masood unavailable for the opening round, Rizwan was expected to lead SNGPL in their first match against State Bank. Meanwhile, Imam-ul-Haq was appointed captain of OGDCL and was scheduled to lead the team in its opening fixture against PTV. The development comes amid an ongoing investigation involving the two cricketers. The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) is conducting forensic and technical analysis of the mobile phones belonging to Rizwan and Imam. According to sources, the investigation is primarily examining financial matters and suspected transactions involving the two players. Their financial dealings before and after Pakistan’s ongoing Test series against England are also reportedly being reviewed, including transactions made through their bank accounts during the relevant period. Sources said that if investigators identify any suspicious transactions, they will examine the source of the funds and determine where the money was transferred.
