In a much awaited move, the International Cricket Council has finally set a date for the hearing of the spot-fixing allegations against three Pakistani players Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif.
The hearing will take place in Doha on 6 January, 2011.
A three-man tribunal has been set up that will look into the allegations of spot-fixing levelled against the trio.
This tribunal comprises of Justice Albie Sachs from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kenya-c752.
Two of the three members; Sharad Rao and Albie Sachs have been associated with the International Cricket Council for a long time. Both of them are the representatives of their respective countries on the International Cricket Council’s code of conduct commission.
Butt, Asif and Amir came under scrutiny of the cricket’s governing body when they were accused by British Tabloid, News of the World of spot-fixing during the English tour this summer.
The players were banned from taking further part in the series in England and were interrogated by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756 Yard.
The International Cricket Council then suspended the players provisionally for an indefinite period of time from taking part in international and domestic cricket.
The three players then filed an appeal against their provisional suspension which Asif withdrew later. ICC heard appeals of Butt and Amir in Dubai which were rejected by Michael Beloff.
If found guilty, the three might be banned for life from all forms of international and domestic cricket.
