Karachi, Mar 6 (PTI) After being accused of match-fixing, Pakistan all-rounder Rana Naved is now under the scanner for allegedly tampering with the ball during the ongoing National Twenty20 Championship here. The Karachi City Cricket Association confirmed to PTI that it had sent a letter to the Pakistan Cricket Board outlining its concerns over some poor umpiring and Rana''s ball tampering during a match between Karachi Zebras and Sialkot Stallions. The KCCA has called for an impartial inquiry into the issues they have raised after Sialkot beat Karachi Zebras by four runs in a match on February 28 and were knocked out of contention for semifinals. Rana, who has played nine Tests and 75 one-dayers, could find himself in trouble as well-placed sources said another team had also complained about his ball-tampering habits to the match-referee. "Apart from the KCCA complaint, Ishtiaq Ahmed one of the match referees has also apparently mentioned Rana''s ball tampering habits in his report to the board," a source disclosed. In the letter sent to the board by the KCCA it has written: "We also request you to conduct an inquiry into ball tampering committed by Rana Naved with his nails which was also ignored by the umpires." .
