PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt

KARACHI: Two Pakistan cricketers are under investigation for suspected match-fixing, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ejaz Butt announced.
 
“We suspect two of our players are involved in match-fixing but until we get a report from our inquiry committee I will not say anything more on this subject,” Butt told a news conference in Lahore.

The PCB set up a six-member inquiry committee this month to investigate the Pakistan team’s dismal performances on their recent tour of Australia.

Pakistan lost each of their three tests as well as all the five one-day matches and the one Twenty20 International.

The committee is headed by former test captain and PCB chief operating officer Wasim Bari and also includes former test captain, Wasim Akram who was fined 10 years ago by a judicial commission investigating match-fixing.

Another former captain Salim Malik has been banned for life for match-fixing.
