Asif, Amir & Salman charged in UK

LONDON: Pakistan cricket had another devastating blow on Friday when UK prosecutors charged cricket stars Mohammad Aamir, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt besides their agent Mazhar Majeed with conspiring to cheat bookmakers.

The charges relate to alleged incidents of cheating at the last year’s Test match at Lord’s when Pakistan was playing against England.
“The charges relate to allegations that Majeed accepted money from a third party to arrange for the players to bowl no balls on 26 and 27 August 2010, during Pakistan’s fourth Test at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.”
