ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’’s top crime investigative agency will send a team to Britain this week to probe corruption allegations against some of the country’’s cricket players, a senior official said on Tuesday. Investigations by British police and the International Cricket Council (ICC) are already underway into a newspaper report alleging three Pakistan players had been bribed to fix incidents in last week’’s fourth test against England. London police have confiscated the mobile phones of test captain Salman Butt as well as pace bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, and the trio — plus wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal — have been questioned at the team’’s hotel. A senior official at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Karachi said the three-member team was likely to leave for London on Wednesday and planned to meet British police and players. The Pakistan team arrived in Taunton in west England on Monday to play a warm-up game for a seven-match one-day series against England, which starts on Sunday. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt said the players being investigated would not be suspended without proof of wrongdoing, however. “There is a case going on over here with Scotland Yard,” Ijaz told website cricinfo.com. “This is only an allegation. There is still no charge or proof on that account. So at this stage there will be no action taken.” The ICC’’s anti-corruption unit has been asked to submit a report on its investigation within the next three days. ICC president Sharad Pawar said on Monday the issue had been discussed in a teleconference by the head of the council’’s anti-corruption unit Ravi Sawani, Ijaz and his English counterpart Giles Clarke. “We at the ICC are waiting for definite information from the PCB and our own anti-corruption unit. We hope to get something in the next two to three days” time and that information would lead to appropriate action, if required,” he said. Pawar has ruled out the possibility of Pakistan cutting short their tour of England. ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said anti-corruption officials were also helping London police with their investigation and would ensure “appropriate punishments” for any players found guilty. “We will not tolerate corruption in this great game,” Lorgat said in a statement. On Monday, the police said they had released on bail a 35-year-old man who had been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers following the report in Britain’’s News of the World newspaper. According to the report, Mazhar Majeed, an agent who claimed to represent 10 Pakistan players including Butt, said Amir and Asif had bowled three no-balls between them by pre-arrangement in the fourth test against England which finished on Sunday. The report also cast doubt on the second test between Pakistan and Australia in Sydney this year when Australia made a remarkable comeback to win by 36 runs after overcoming a 206-run first-innings deficit.
