Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt is expected to meet officials of the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit soon regarding his efforts to make a comeback to domestic cricket after his ban ends in September.
A well-placed source in the Pakistan Cricket Board said that the ICC anti-corruption unit had contacted Butt after he submitted a written statement to the PCB admitting his involvement and guilt in the spot-fixing scandal in England in 2010. “Indications are that the ICC ACU officials will meet with Butt soon to discuss his statement and future course of action,” the source said.
He said PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan had not raised the issue of giving some relaxation to Butt after his ban ends in September at the recent ICC executive board meeting in Barbados.
