Pakistan’s star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is under mounting pressure from federal investigators who have repeatedly sought access to his mobile phone for forensic examination, sources familiar with the matter revealed Sunday.<\/p>\n

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency has contacted Rizwan multiple times requesting he unlock his device and disable security features including anti-theft and facial recognition locks to allow investigators to conduct a comprehensive digital analysis. According to insiders, the cricketer has so far declined to fully cooperate with the probe.<\/p>\n

If Rizwan continues resisting the examination, the agency is prepared to escalate matters through formal legal channels. Officials are scheduled to approach him again on September 28, and failure to comply could result in a written notice being issued against the national team regular.<\/p>\n

Investigators possess technical tools capable of bypassing phone security, but sources say deploying such methods risks permanently erasing critical data the agency hopes to preserve. The NCCIA reportedly wants Rizwan’s voluntary cooperation to ensure evidence remains intact.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the investigation claim certain individuals are advising Rizwan against cooperating, though they warn such counsel may not serve his long-term interests. The agency has refrained from making public allegations while the inquiry remains active.<\/p>\n

In contrast, fellow cricketer Imam-ul-Haq is reportedly cooperating fully with investigators. Forensic analysis of Imam’s mobile device has already begun in his presence at the NCCIA’s Islamabad headquarters, with sources expressing confidence the examination will conclude shortly.<\/p>\n

The investigation spans multiple serious concerns including potential involvement in online betting, corruption, and other criminal activities. Authorities are examining the case from various angles as they work to establish whether any wrongdoing occurred.<\/p>\n

Rizwan, one of Pakistan’s most prominent cricket figures and a fan favorite, has previously been instructed not to discuss the NCCIA probe publicly. The investigation’s scope and specific allegations remain unclear, though the involvement of multiple cricketers suggests authorities are conducting a broader inquiry into potential misconduct within Pakistan cricket circles.<\/p>\n

The developments come at a sensitive time for Pakistan cricket, with the national team preparing for upcoming international commitments. Any formal charges or prolonged investigation could impact team selection and public confidence in the sport.<\/p>\n

Neither Rizwan nor the Pakistan Cricket Board have issued official statements regarding the ongoing investigation. The NCCIA continues its work behind closed doors as pressure builds on one of the nation’s most celebrated sporting figures to provide the access investigators demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
