ISLAMABAD — The three Pakistan cricketers suspended and charged by the ICC over fixing allegations have been selected as reserves for their regional Pakistani teams for a domestic Twenty20 tournament next month.
Test captain Salman Butt and opening bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were charged after allegations they received money to bowl no-balls at predetermined times in a test against England last month.
Rawalpindi chief Naeem Akhtar says Amir was included in his team, and Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman Nadeem Sarwar says Butt and Asif are reserves for Lahore and defending champion Sialkot. All three players will need clearance from the ICC to play.
The PCB has not yet announced when the event will be held.
