PCB Chief: Match-Fixing Evidence Against 2 Players



The head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Ijaz Butt, says he has strong evidence of match fixing by two former Pakistan cricketers but not against members of the current team.

Butt said on Friday the evidence was provided by the International Cricket Council to previous officials of the cricket board. Butt took over as PCB chairman in October 2008.

Without revealing the names of the cricketers, Butt told The Associated Press that the two players are not on the cricket board's current list of available players or the national team.

Life bans were imposed in 2000 on former Pakistani test captain Salim Malik and paceman Ata-ur-Rehman for match fixing, though the bans were overturned on appeal.
