By Nawaz Gohar ; In a major development surrounding the ongoing inquiry into star national cricketer Mohammad Rizwan, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has served the wicketkeeper-batter with an exhaustive five-page questionnaire.

The detailed probe seeks extensive disclosures spanning his personal life, career earnings, digital footprint, asset history, and financial dealings over the past decade.

According to reliable sources, the comprehensive document requires Rizwan to formally declare fundamental personal details, including his parentage, exact date and place of birth, marital status, spouse’s identity, and complete particulars regarding his children.

A Decade of Digital Footprints & 5-Year Financial Audit
The agency’s inquiry delves deeply into both digital activity and personal finances. The questionnaire explicitly mandates:

Digital History: A full record of all personal and public social media handles—including Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram, and other digital platforms—managed or used by the cricketer over the past 10 years.
Indiatimes

Income Sources: An itemized breakdown of all revenue streams over the last 5 years, covering official salary, rental income, commercial ventures, and agricultural earnings.

Banking & Liquid Assets: Disclosures of all active and closed bank accounts, credit card usage, and interest/profit yields accrued on bank deposits over the past 5 years.

Debts & Liabilities: Detailed records of any personal, commercial, or institutional loans taken during the same period.

Properties, Inheritance, and Travel Under Scrutiny: The NCCIA’s scope extends beyond standard earnings to include personal living expenses, inherited wealth, and mobility records over the last 5 years:

Domestic & Personal Expenses: Documentation outlining routine household expenses alongside total educational expenditures incurred for his children over the 5-year window.

Real Estate & Inheritance: Comprehensive records of all property transactions (purchases and sales) made in the last 5 years. The questionnaire also demands verified proof and transfer documentation for any inherited properties credited to his name.

Travel Records: Complete itineraries, duration of stay, and itemized expenditure logs for both domestic travel and international trips undertaken over the past 5 years.

This wide-ranging questionnaire highlights the increasing depth of the agency’s inquiry into the cricketer’s professional and personal affairs, requiring a thorough legal and documented response to clear his name.

By Nawaz Gohar ;  The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) lacks the statutory jurisdiction under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016 (as amended in 2025) to investigate national cricketers over allegations of online betting or match-related gambling in international cricket, according to expert legal opinion.

Under established international sports governance frameworks, the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) of the International Cricket Council (ICC)—alongside the internal integrity mechanisms of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)—holds exclusive authority to investigate corruption, betting, and integrity breaches involving international players.

The statutory boundaries set for the cyber crime agency are explicitly defined by law and do not extend to the domain of sports integrity and international cricket governance.

Legal experts suggest that rather than merely responding to individual summons issued under Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan should formally challenge the legitimacy of the entire inquiry before the superior judiciary.

Establishing a jurisdictional challenge in the High Court would test whether the agency possesses the lawful authority to conduct financial and digital audits over sports integrity allegations, serving to protect international athletes from unlawful regulatory overreach.
