KARACHI, (Reuters) – The Pakistan Cricket Board has stopped Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir using any of the board’s facilities or training at the national cricket academy while they remain banned.
PCB legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi said the decision was taken under the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption code.
“The three remain suspended by the ICC and the anti-corruption code does not allow suspended players to be associated with cricket internationals or cricket or to use the facilities of their home board,” Rizvi said.
“It is mandatory on us to impose these steps and keep the suspended players segregated from others.
They can’t use our facilities while their suspension remains.”
Butt, Asif and Amir have been suspended by the ICC while an investigation takes place into newspaper allegations they had deliberately arranged for no-balls to be delivered during the fourth test against England at Lord’s in August.
The trio, who have all denied wrongdoing, will attend an appeal hearing in Doha on October 30 and 31.
