Three Pakistan players have been charged by the ICC under its
anti-corruption code in the wake of the match-fixing scandal
that has stunned cricket.
The International Cricket Council said that Salman Butt,
Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have been notified of the
charges, which were unspecified but relate to "alleged
irregular behaviour" during the fourth test against England
last week.
The players have been provisionally barred from all forms of
cricket.
ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat says "we will not tolerate
corruption in cricket" with the players facing "penalties up
to a life ban," adding that "we will stop at nothing to
protect the sport's integrity."
Details of the hearing are to be finalized.
