Mohammad Rizwan demands phone return and clarity amid dressing-room leak inquiry.

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has written again to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), seeking the return of his phone and written details about the inquiry into alleged dressing-room leaks during the England Test series. Rizwan says he handed over the phone and its password on August 31, and that officials later reviewed its contents in his presence, but it has not been returned despite assurances it would be. He says he has cooperated and wants the agency to specify the inquiry’s grounds, tell him when he must appear, and contact him through official channels. The Lahore High Court dismissed his challenge to the NCCIA’s authority, directing him to cooperate while telling the agency to avoid harassment or unnecessary inconvenience. Reports indicate the agency may seek further access to the phone for forensic analysis, a point that contrasts with Rizwan’s account that he has already provided access.
Rizwan appeared before the NCCIA on September 10, when officials reportedly accessed his unlocked phone and reviewed its messages and other content in his presence.
Rizwan asked that future NCCIA communications follow official procedures and be sent to his residential address.
Imam-ul-Haq also appeared before the NCCIA and completed its questionnaire, while Rizwan chose to challenge the agency’s jurisdiction in court.
After Pakistan lost the second Test, the PCB sent Rizwan, Imam and five other players home; Pakistan went on to suffer its first 0-3 defeat on English soil.
