ICC asks Butt, Akmal for phone records

London: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has reportedly asked Pakistan's suspended Test captain Salman Butt and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal to give their mobile phone records for an investigation into possible spot-fixing during the Asia Cup in June.

According to the Daily Mail, Akmal and Butt were contacted by ICC after “suspicions arose during the Asia Cup.”

The ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit have told the duo to release details of their mobile phone records during the tournament in Sri Lanka.

“They expect the full cooperation of both players but have yet to receive a response from the Pakistan camp,” the newspaper reported.

The newspaper also reported that 18-year-old pace sensation Mohammad Amir “will be told he could avoid a life ban if he gives evidence against his teammates” in the ongoing inquiry into the spot-fixing charges against him, Butt and Mohammad Asif. — PTI
