ICC President Sharad Pawar mentioned Pakistan captain Salman Butt and pace bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, who’ve been provisionally stopped and charged by the ICC under their anti-corruption code, will get an opportunity to present their version of the spot-fixing scandal that has rocked the sport.
“We have not punished anybody,” Pawar said in New York on Saturday where he is attending an international meeting of the Nationalist Congress Party of which he is the president.
“If there are some critical allegations and if the anti-corruption unit of the ICC comes to some prima facie conclusion, then we will have to send a notice to that certain player, it is not a final choice.
“The notice means giving them an opportunity to explain their position.”
Pawar did not say who the commissioner was or when they would be appointed but explained the protocol they would go through.
“(The) ICC appoints an free person as the commissioner and gives (an) opportunity to the player to put his views and explanations before the commissioner and not the ICC and the commissioner’s recommendations will be last for (the) ICC,” spelled out the Indian agriculture minister.
He also assured the Pakistani cricketers they would get a honest hearing.
“This is not an action (against them). This is sort of notice given to them, an chance given to them to explain their position.”
