PCB suspects two players of match-fixing
Karachi, Feb 26: Pakistan Cricket Board today said it suspects two national team players of being involved in match-fixing in Australia even though it did not disclose their identity.
At a time when the local media is abuzz claiming wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal is under the scanner for his conspicuously shoddy performance during the Australia tour, PCB chairman Ejaz Butt confirmed a couple of players are suspected of fixing matches.
“It would be foolish to say no match-fixing takes place,” Butt told a press conference in Lahore.
“But the fact is it is very difficult to prove this. So I am not going to take any names right now,” Butt said.
“We are waiting for a report from the inquiry committee we have set up to probe into the team’s poor performances in Australia,” he said.
“Once the inquiry committee gives its report I will comment further on this issue,” the PCB chief added.
