Tainted Pak trio to face PCB internal inquiry today Zeecric Bureau London: Tainted Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt, Mohammed Asif and Mohammed Aamer will on Wednesday face a Pakistan Cricket Board internal inquiry at the Pakistan High Commission in London. The trio was earlier on Tuesday barred from practice and summoned to face internal inquiry as the `spot-fixing` scandal grew in proportion with the arrest of three more persons. The Lahore High Court on a petition filed by a local lawyer over the spot fixing allegations against some Pakistani cricketers has summoned them and the PCB chairman for a hearing on September 7. The court has also summoned the federal sport minister besides seven players whose names have cropped up in the spot fixing scandal that broke out last Saturday late night after the arrest of a 35-year old Pakistani man settled in the United Kingdom. On a day of swift developments, the players were barred from team practice in Taunton amidst intense speculation that they could be suspended by the PCB under pressure from their British counterparts. Even as the spotlight was on the players, three persons, including a woman, were questioned as part of an investigation into money laundering before being released on bail. Two men and a woman, all from London, were questioned last night as part of an investigation into money laundering before being released on bail, HM Revenue and Customs said in a statement. A 35-year-old woman from the Croydon area along with a 49-year-old man in North London were arrested to investigate a second, separate, criminal investigation into allegations of cricket match fixing.
