Investigation before Test

Pak's cricketers were being investigated by the ICC for spot-fixing in an OD series even before their fourth Test against England. The ICC suspended 3 players after charging them under anti-corruption code but had asked two players for their telephone records as part of investigation in contact with bookmakers. Butt is one of 3 players on suspicion of fixing by arranging for no-balls to be bowled against England during the fourth Test. Pak plays against England in the second T20 in Cardiff on Tuesday. The team manager Yawar Saeed said he is not going to say anything on the allegations.

Butt, Mohammad Asif and Aamer were suspended on Thursday for a scandal that came to light. All 3 could face life bans, if found guilty. The suspensions related only to the fourth Test against England, which began August 26.
