The 31-year-old right-hander played five One Day Internationals and 13 Twenty Internationals for Pakistan between 2008 and 2016.
PCB's lawyer Tafazzul Rizvi said, "We can't say right now if the verdict is lenient or not as we've not received the full verdict," said Rizvi. Once we will, only then we can decide how to move forward."
