Latif to contest fixing charges

AFP, KARACHI: Pakistan batsman Khalid Latif will contest spot-fixing charges against him, his lawyer said Friday, in an ongoing scandal which has tainted Pakistani cricket and threatened years of work to clean up the country's image.
The 31-year-old is one of five players under investigation in the case, which surfaced during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) held in February-March this year.
Latif appeared before a tribunal in Lahore on Friday. His lawyer Badar Alam told media outside that they would contest the charges “because no one can be convicted on presumptions”.
