Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has confirmed he will appear before the National Cyber Crime Investigation Authority (NCCIA) on October 2. In his third letter to the investigating authority, the former white-ball captain sought written clarification regarding the allegations and the scope of the inquiry.

Rizwan noted that the initial notice referenced online betting and gambling, while court proceedings mentioned electronic fraud under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, though his latest notice omitted gambling allegations. He formally asked whether the inquiry remains linked to betting or gambling and requested details on the specific PECA provisions involved.

The 34-year-old cricketer stated that the betting allegations could damage his reputation and career, and asked if the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) or the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit had been contacted. He also questioned whether the NCCIA had obtained information from these cricketing bodies.

A significant portion of Rizwan's letter addressed his mobile phone, which remains in NCCIA custody after he provided the password and it was examined in England. He reported receiving no seizure receipt, warrant, custody record, or written document explaining the continued retention of the device.

Rizwan asked the NCCIA to specify if further cooperation is required for forensic examination. He concluded by requesting that the forensic examination be completed without delay and that his mobile phone be returned immediately.
