Pakistan Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi and team coach Waqar Younis will appear as witnesses before an anti-corruption tribunal after a request from the International Cricket Council.
Pakistan Cricket Board said on Saturday that both Afridi and Younis will appear “either in person or through teleconference depending on their convenience and subject to their professional commitments.”
The tribunal will conduct the hearing of Pakistan’s suspended cricketers Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir from January 6-11 at Doha, Qatar.
Butt, Asif and Amir were suspended in September after a British tabloid alleged that they bowled predetermined no-balls during the Lord’s Test against England.
“PCB is committed to root out corruption, in any form, from cricket and has a zero tolerance policy towards corruption,” the cricket board said in a statement.
“PCB is also keen to assist the ICC anti-corruption tribunal in determining the truth behind the serious allegations being made against the three Pakistan players.”
