LAHORE, Nov 14: As many as 41 players appearing in Pakistan’s domestic cricket have been reported for ‘chucking’ in the current season, it was learnt on Tuesday.

Among the 41 reported for the offence, some are those who were marked during the previous national Under-19 tournament while quite a few of them have been representing their respective departments in the ongoing Patron's Trophy.

Mudassar Nazar, Director National Cricket Academy and head of the PCB bowling review committee, confirmed to Dawn that some players, indeed, have been reported but their fate would be decided later.

According to reports, the PCB is likely to impose a four-week ban on the suspected ‘chuckers’ in order to take them off domestic scene and to work on their actions.
