Probe into Pakistan bookies
THE Pakistan Cricket Board have asked the International Cricket Council to investigate reports bookmakers were staying in the same hotel as the team in Sri Lanka.
The PCB have ruled out holding their own inquiry but have passed the matter on to the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU).
PCB chief operating officer Saleem Altaf said: "The ACU representative in Sri Lanka is investigating the matter. The ACU follows a proper procedure and they investigate suspicious incidents in great detail. So we are not expecting them to come up with a report very soon."
Pakistan, recent winners of the Twenty20 in England, lost the three-Test series in Sri Lanka 2-0 and are currently 3-0 down in the best-of-five one-day international series.
Former Pakistan head of selectors Abdul Qadir is mystified by Pakistan's recent performances.
"It is strange the way we are losing matches," Qadir said. "When the bowling clicks the batsmen don't perform. When the batsmen perform the bowler's don't perform. Something is wrong somewhere."
