LAHORE: An International Cricket Council investigator has questioned Shoaib Akthar over the fast bowler’s claims that he was offered money to throw matches, Pakistani sources said on Tuesday.
Akthar, 32, was banned for five years a week ago for criticising the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He later alleged that that he had refused offers of bribes to underperform in international games during his career.
“Alan Peacock of the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) interviewed Akhtar and some other players on Sunday and will make recommendations to the ICC over any further action,” a PCB source said.
The source did not identify the other players. Pakistan’s representative in the ACSU, retired colonel Nuruddin Khawaja, assisted Peacock in the investigation, said the sources.
