ECB demands apology from Ijaz Butt
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has demanded an apology from the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt for accusing the English players of throwing the third ODI at the Oval. The ECB has also threatened to take legal action against the PCB chief unless he issued an apology for his comments.
Butt had told an Indian news channel that he had heard from bookmakers that England players had taken bribes to lose last Friday's Oval ODI. "There is loud and clear talk in bookie circles that some English players were paid enormous amounts of money to lose. No wonder there was total collapse of the English side," Butt had said during an interview to the channel.
