Spot-fixing players and Agent sentenced to jail

Three former Pakistan international cricketers were escorted from the dock by prison officers on Thursday after being handed combined jail sentences totalling four years for their part in the spot-fixing plot in their Test match against England at Lord's last year. Salman Butt, the Pakistan captain during that Test and a man described by Mr Justice Cooke as "the orchestrator of this activity", was jailed for 30 months. Mohammad Asif, who bowled one of three prearranged no-balls at the centre of the conspiracy, was given a year in prison. Add your comment
