Fresh Spot Fixing Investigation against Pakistan Cricket Team

Scoring Pattern against England was prearranged

In light of the information published in the Sun Newspaper, ICC will investigate the allegations that a scoring pattern in Pakistan’s innings was prearranged.

This investigation will follow the earlier investigation when Pakistani players received money to bowl no-balls at prearranged times.

However, Pakistan won the third one-day by 23 runs. The Sun further claims that after receiving details from Dubai-based match-fixer and a Delhi bookie it had passed on the information to the ICC before the starting of Oval’s match. It was observed by Cricket chiefs that fixer information was appeared to be correct as the Pakistani scores advances.

A Pakistani Cricket Board spokesman, Nadeem Sarwar denies commenting any further in the sense that ICC has already issued it’s statement.

The ICC has already suspended Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir against no-ball fixing allegation earlier in this tour. The suspended cricketers had responded to the notices but ICC has yet to decide date for hearing.
