LAHORE: Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz will stay in Britain to be interviewed by police over the alleged spot-fixing scandal, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ijaz Butt said on Thursday. “We have arranged for his interview as we will continue to cooperate and we want to get to the bottom of the matter,” Butt told a press conference. The News of the World tabloid published a video report showing Riaz taking a jacket from bookmaker Mazhar Majeed — the alleged middleman in the spot-fixing scam — which had £10,000 ($15,400) in it. Three other players under investigation in Britain over the matter can return home as no charges had been brought against them, Butt said. “Since the players have not been charged we have informed Scotland Yard that they will be travelling back to Pakistan within the next few days,” Butt said. Butt, who has been derided as an incompetent PCB chief by cricket fans in Pakistan, returned home to an angry reception at Lahore airport on Wednesday, with protesters chanting slogans against him. — AFP
