Summary
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) allowed Captain Shahid Afridi and Coach Waqar Younis to record their statements in spot-fixing case.The decision was taken after the International Cricket Council requested the appearance of them in the hearing. The ICC has requested the PCB to direct Afridi and Waqar to appear before the ICC anti-corruption tribunal to determine the guilt or otherwise of the three players who have been accused of serious violations, a Pakistan Cricket Board press release said. The three players -- Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer -- were suspended by the ICC in September on spot-fixing charges relating to the Lord's Test against England a month earlier. The PCB is also keen to assist the ICC anti-corruption tribunal in determining in a fair and just manner the truth behind the serious allegations being made against the three Pakistan players, the release added.
