ICC suspended the pak trio salman butt, mohd asif and mohd amir to restore the credibility and honor of international cricket. The three were charged under anti corruption code in the wake of the spot fixing scandal. The ICC has maintained that the suspensioni9s provisional till the things are cleared completely.
ICC told in a statement-
“In accordance with the provisions of the code, this means they are immediately barred from participating in all cricket and related activities until the case has been concluded.
Pakistan gave a twist by saying that the Indian bookmaker is behind the episode.
Pakistan high commissioner to Britain said –
“I found that all these three players were absolutely innocent. They were not involved, they have been taken for a ride and the agent (Mazhar Majeed) was the culprit, in the sense that he was responsible for defrauding some Asian bookies.
He further continued –
“The British press says Asian but if they were from Pakistan they (British media) would have called Pakistanis, which means some Indian bookies were involved in it. This Majeed allegedly defrauded these Indian bookies and so the newspaper investigated this sort of sting operation through their sources here.
