LAHORE: (Dunya News) – Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt on Tuesday finally admitted that he was involved in spot-fixing, of which he was accused five years ago, Dunya News reported. Central culprit of the spot-fixing scandal, which caused embarrassment for Pakistan throughout the world, admitted that the accusations were correct.
In his meeting with Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Shehreyar Khan, Salman Butt admitted that he knew during the 2010 Lords’ Test that Mohammad Aamir and Mohammad Asif were going to bowl planted no-balls. He said that he was ashamed of his act.
PCB officials will now soon send Salman Butt’s confessional statement to Internation Cricket Council’s (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit after which ICC will decide about Salman Butt’s future.
Earlier, PCB had requested discount for Mohammad Aamir from ICC after his confessional statement and ICC had allowed Aamir to resume his domestic career. Aamir will start taking part in domestic cricket in the ongoing season.
