ICC, BCCI mum on latest fixing claims

December 01, 2010 15:17 IST

The International Cricket Council [ Images ] (ICC [ Images ]) president Sharad Pawar [ Images ] on Wednesday refused to react on the latest revelations that apart from suspended trio of Salman Butt [ Images ], Mohammed Asif and Mohammed Aamer, four more Pakistani players were allegedly involved in spot-fixing.

Pakistan's Geo News channel on Tuesday aired a video in which suspected bookmaker Mazhar Majeed said seven Pakistani players were hand in glove with him in spot-fixing.

He took names of Akmal brothers Kamran and Umar, paceman Wahab Riaz and left-handed batsman Imran Farhat [ Images ].

The first expose by British tabloid News of the World had led to suspensions of Butt, Asif and Aamer, who are now facing a hearing into charges that they took money to bowl deliberate no balls during the Lord's Test against England [ Images ].

"You have to contact our office in Dubai [ Images ]. That's our head office," Pawar said when his reaction was sought on the development.

Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India [ Images ] (BCCI) also chose not to speak on the issue.

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said, "it was not appropriate for the BCCI to comment" on the issue as theĀ  matter was in the domain of Pakistan Cricket Board.
