Another cricketer implicated

Another unnamed Pakistan cricketer was involved in arranging a spot-fixing plot with ex-team captain Salman Butt, a defence lawyer has told a court.
The claims were made at the Southwark Crown Court sentencing of Butt and Mohammed Asif who have been convicted of deliberately bowling no-balls.
Mohammad Amir, 19, and UK based agent Mazhar Majeed, 36, had earlier admitted offences over a Lord’s Test match.
Majeed claimed to have paid Asif £65,000, Butt £10,000 and Amir £2,500.
Former captain Butt, 27, and fast bowler Asif, 28, were both found guilty on Tuesday of conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments.
Amir pleaded guilty to the same charges.
It can now be reported that Majeed admitted conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to make corrupt payments at an earlier hearing. (BBC)
