Diplomatic blames PCB over match-fix laws

Leading English language daily Dawn reported on Thursday that High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan wrote a letter of complaint to Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, who is also patron of the PCB. Hasan said in a two-page letter that the PCB officials “kept the diplomats unaware about the laws of ICC relating to alleged match-fixing.

“The PCB management has not guided the High Commission at any point,” Hasan wrote. The ICC suspended Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir over match fixing allegations while fourth player Wahab Riaz was questioned by Scotland Yard on Tuesday. The London police also interrogated Butt, Asif and Amir earlier this month, but did not press any criminal charges against them.
