The PCB has expressed concern over allegations of fixing raised in the media with regard to the recently concluded West Indies-Pakistan ODI series.
A Pakistan board official told ESPNcricinfo on Sunday that the PCB is
in touch with the ICC about the matter as it falls under the
Anti-Corruption and Security Unit's purview.
The Mail on Sunday, which raised the allegations, reported that
the series was set to be investigated over claims of wrongdoing.
Pakistan had won the five-match series in the Caribbean, which concluded
on July 24, by a 3-1 margin. The third game of the series was a tie.
"The PCB is obviously extremely concerned at the recent allegations of
fixing reported in the media with regard to recently concluded ODI
series between Pakistan and West Indies," the official said. "The PCB
maintains zero tolerance towards corruption in the game but
investigations in this matter falls within the purview of the ICC's
Anti-Corruption and Security Unit. The PCB is in contact with the ICC on
this issue and understands that the ICC will be issuing a media release
soon.
"The PCB, at the moment, is examining all legal aspects but for the time being will not be making any further comments".
The Twenty20-leg of the tour is currently underway. Pakistan won the first of two T20s on Saturday, and the second and final game will be played later on Sunday in St Vincent.
