PCB says no suspensions over betting probe
TAUNTON: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Tuesday it would not suspend players accused over a betting scam while the claims are investigated, but reports said they would be dropped for the remaining matches in England. The PCB has summoned the players at the centre of the claims to a meeting in London, but said it would not suspend any player while police continue to investigate. “Chairman Ijaz Butt just told me that since there is a case going on with the Scotland Yard we are not going to suspend any player,” a PCB spokesman told AFP. “He further said that this is only an allegation so far. There is still no charge or proof on that account. So at this stage there will be no action taken.”
