Question

Why is Suspended Salman Butt looking for a lawyer? Can someone tell me the details of the event?

Answer 1

Pakistan's suspended Test captain Salman Butt is looking for a new lawyer to represent him in the January ICC hearing on the spot-fixing charges against him in Doha. Sources said that Butt, who is facing charges of alleged spot-fixing, had asked the sport's world governing body for an extension in the deadline for submitting details of his legal team and other relevant documents in preparation for the hearing in Doha from January 6 to 11. "The three players suspended by the ICC, Butt, Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif were supposed to submit details of their lawyers and other relevant documents by November 19 to the ICC but Butt has asked for an extension of three-days as his legal team is not finalized as yet," one source disclosed.
