News Desk: Breaking News! The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) bowed to the pressure at home and abroad over the spot-fixing issue and sacked Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer from the remaining matches of the England tour.

Butt, Asif and Aamer won't play in the T20 and ODI matches. However, the PCB refused to admit that they have been suspended. Earlier, the PCB refused to drop the players without proof.

Pakistan will play with 13 players during the two T20 matches. Replacements will be sent before the start of five-match ODI series.

In a sting operation conducted by 'The News of The World', a bookie Majeed revealed that he would fix three no-balls to be bowled by Asif and Aamer. He also predicted the overs and balls when the pacers would bowl. That exactly happened, which shocked the cricket world.

Earlier, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir appeared before an investigation team appointed by the Pakistan Cricket Board. The questioning took place at the Pakistan High Commission in London.
