Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq are under investigation by Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) for alleged leaks from the cricket team's dressing room during their series against England. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confiscated their mobile phones for analysis as part of the inquiry. Both players were summoned to the NCCIA's Lahore office for questioning, where they were asked to unlock their devices for data retrieval. A third cricketer has also been implicated in the investigation. The PCB has not publicly commented on the reasons for the probe or the confiscation of the players' phones. This situation follows the PCB's decision to send several players and coaches back home after a recent defeat at Lord's. The PCB is conducting an internal disciplinary inquiry into the matter, although no official details have been released yet.
