Waqar, Wasim and Ijaz given posts after clearance: Butt

Chairman Pakistan cricket Board (PCB) Ijaz Butt has said that the services of players like Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram and Ijaz Ahmed are being utilized after clearance and recovery of fines. Defending Waqar Youniss appointment as Pakistan coach, despite allegations of match fixing against him, the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt said all those fined on the basis of Justice Malik Qayyums inquiry report 10 years ago have been cleared for national duties now. The Qayyum commission also recommended life bans on former captain Salim Malik and pace bowler Ataur Rehman. Butt disclosed that Waqar would be paid around $7,650 monthly salary besides other perks. We think that is a reasonable amount we are paying for his services since former Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was paid around Rs1.7 million a month by the Board, Butt added.
