Hafeez had also resisted the comeback of Mohammad Aamir to the Pakistan camp some years back when the board recalled Aamir after he completed his five-year ban for spot-fixing.
Sharjeel was banned from all forms of cricket for three years after he was found involved in a spot-fixing scandal during the 2017 edition of the PSL.
Sharjeel Khan is making a comeback to competitive cricket after serving a five-year ban for spot-fixing in the Pakistan Super League.
Sharjeel, who completed a five-year ban for breaching the PCB's Anti-Corruption code in August, has been given clearance by the board to resume playing club cricket.
Sharjeel didn't say what his apology was for after meeting with PCB officials, who offered him a pathway back to playing again.
Sharjeel was banned from all forms of cricket for five years in August 2017 for his role in the spot-fixing scandal that marred Pakistan Super League (PSL) earlier that year.
A senior official of the PCB said that Sharjeel's application submitted by his lawyer had been discussed at the recent Board of Governors meeting in which the player had asked for permission to resume playing domestic cricket.
Sharjeel Khan is serving a five-year ban, half of which is suspended, for his role in spot-fixing scandal during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in February, 2017.
Sharjeel Khan was suspended for spot-fixing and sent home after the start of the Pakistan Super League in February last year.
The left-handed opener was handed a five-year ban - half of it suspended by the tribunal in September, while a full five-year ban and one million rupees fine were imposed on another batsman, Khalid Latif in the PSL spot-fixing case.
Disappointed by the tribunal decision against Sharjeel, his lawyer Ijaz pledged to move to the high court to get justice.
Sharjeel was found guilty of meeting with a suspected bookmaker and accepting an offer to spot-fix during a match of the Pakistan Super League in Dubai in February.
PCB's anti-corruption tribunal, headed by a former judge of the Lahore High Court, has already banned Test opener Sharjeel Khan for five years with half of the sentence suspended on spot-fixing charges.
The order states that Sharjeel agreed to spot fix while playing for Islamabad United against Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL.
The tainted cricketer says he has reservations over the decision announced by the three- member Anti-Corruption tribunal of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
PCB Chairman, Najam Sethi said the Anti-Corruption Tribunal verdict is a vindication of board's policy of zero tolerance for corrupt practices.
Sharjeel Khan was sent back from Dubai in February on the second day of the Pakistan Super League after PCB's anti-corruption unit found him involved in suspicious activities.
Attempts by Khalid to challenge the tribunal in the Lahore High Court also failed, not once but twice.
PCB legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi said the Board was taking all corruption and fixing issues as zero tolerance and no leniency would be shown to any player found guilty.
Former stalwarts - Javed Miandad and Mohsin Hasan Khan called for a life ban on any player (s) found guilty of the fixing case.
