Former Pakistani cricketer Nasir Jamshed has publicly apologized for his involvement in a spot-fixing scandal and has requested the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to lift the remaining one year of his 10-year ban. According to Hum News, Jamshed expressed deep remorse for his actions during a private TV interview, stating, 'I made a wrong decision due to family issues and financial pressure.' He revealed that his time in jail was the most challenging period of his life, admitting that he contemplated suicide but was deterred by thoughts of his wife and daughter. Express News highlighted his emotional struggle, quoting him saying, 'My wife saved my life by sending pictures of our daughter, which gave me the courage to live.' Jamshed was sentenced to 17 months in prison by the Manchester Crown Court and was banned by the PCB following investigations by the National Crime Agency in the UK. The case involved attempts at spot-fixing during the Bangladesh Premier League in 2016 and the Pakistan Super League in 2017, where Jamshed was accused of conspiring with others to fix matches for financial gain. He admitted to his role after a recorded conversation in a Birmingham café was presented in court.
