New Twist In Pakistan Match Fixing Scene, PCB Not To Suspend Players Without Strong Proof


There is a new twist in the Pakistan match fixing scene, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stated that it will not be suspending its players without any strong proof. The Pakistan Match Fixing scandal which was unearthed in the last test match with England at the Lord’s has shown that there has been spot fixing in the game too.

The British Police and the International Cricket Board in London have commenced their investigations into the matter. Three main players are into the suspect ring, Captain Salman Butt, and Bowlers, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir. The British police have confiscated the cellphones of these players.

In addition to the trio, wicket keeper Kamran Akmal too is being questioned by the investigators at his hotel. PCB Chairman, Ijaz Butt has said that it is only an allegation, and there is no proof or charge against his players, so he wont be taking any actions immediately.
