Pak cricketers have done nothing wrong: PCB
16.45 IST   17th Sept 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

The Pakistan Cricket Board has denied that its players were involved in ‘wrong-doing’ in their Champions Trophy match against Sri Lanka.

All that has happened is that International Cricket Council has admitted to reviewing "a number of incidents that took place" in that game on September 12.

PCB Director Chisti Mujahid said neither the team management in Colombo nor the board had been contacted by the ICC in this regard.

"Had there been anything, the ICC officials must have contacted PCB," Mujahid was quoted as saying by local daily The News on Tuesday.

Mujahid said he had spoken to team manager Yawar Saeed. "Yawar said that he has not been contacted by any official of the ICC anti- corruption unit and it is just a rumour, nothing else."

"There is no truth in it. In fact some Indian newspapers have stooped too low and they have ran baseless stories," Mujahid said. "The Indian newspapers should have shown a degree of responsibility in this respect."

Mujahid also contended that the review of the tapes of the match by anti-corruption unit was a routine exercise. "I think it is part of their job," he said.
