Fourth Pakistani in cricket probe | Bangkok Post: breakingnews

The British newspaper whose allegations of a betting scam have rocked the world of cricket said Saturday that a fourth Pakistan player was being probed over the claims, but declined to name him.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) and Pakistan's coach refused to comment on the report in the News of the World, and officials stressed Sunday's Twenty20 match between England and Pakistan in Cardiff would still go ahead.

The newspaper's report last Sunday into an alleged fixing scam caused a major scandal and prompted the ICC to charge Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif under its anti-corruption code.
