A two-member team of Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency
will be heading to England in the next couple of days to
probe allegations of match fixing against its country's
cricketers.
The Interior ministry said in a press release that its two
top officials - Inam Ghani and Azad Khan - will be heading to
England to gather information on each cricketer alleged to
have been involved in match fixing.
Pakistan fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have
been accused by a British newspaper of being paid to
deliberately bowl no-balls during Thursday's opening day of
the fourth test against England.
"This will be an initial inquiry to find out the facts and
determine the nature of allegations and real truth," the
ministry said.
The investigation team was appointed on the direction of
Pakistan's interior minister Rehman Malik.
"It will interact with London police and get the details,"
the statement said.
