KARACHI, Sept 9 —The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has asked Scotland Yard and the International Cricket Council to allow suspended trio Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir to return home from the tour of England.

The trio are under investigation for their alleged involvement in a spot-fixing scandal.

“We are hoping they will return in two or three days time,” PCB chairman Ijaz Butt told a news conference in Lahore on Thursday.

Butt added the trio were not prisoners in London and the PCB had given assurances they would be made available for questioning when required. — Reuters
