Pakistan will not include the trio of suspected players—Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Asif—in the two Twenty20 and one-day internationals against England.
All three were accused by a British tabloid of a plan to deliberately bowl no-balls during the fourth test against England at Lord’s.
Pakistan team manager Yawar Saeed said in Taunton that the three players were not suspended but that they will not play in the remainder of the tour.
Saeed said he would be asking for replacements to increase the squad to 16 for the ODIs.
Meanwhile, foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit said that it was better to wait till the Scotland Yard finished its inquiry into the allegations.
“Investigations are still on and we have not yet received comprehensive report from our high commission in London,” Basit said. “It is better to wait till then rather saying any thing at this stage.”

ACSU official meets Mohammad Asif’s former girlfriend Veena malik
On September - 2 - 2010
An ACSU official has met with Veena Malik, former girlfriend of fast bowler Mohammad Asif, as part of the body’s ongoing inquiries into the spot-fixing scandal in which Asif is one of the central figures.
The meeting took place on Wednesday in Lahore and came after Malik, a popular film and television actor, made a series of allegations about Asif. Malik’s spokesperson Sohail Rashid confirmed to Cricinfo that such a meeting took place but gave no further details. An ICC official said that the game’s governing body does not comment on the ongoing investigations of the ACSU.
Over the last week the 32-year-old Malik has been particularly vocal in her allegations, claiming in several TV interviews that she has proof of Asif’s involvement with India-based bookies. The pair have been in and out of the news over the last year; in April this year Malik claimed Asif owed her nearly Rs 18 million, though the bowler denied the charge and the pair were thought to have come to a resolution.
Along with Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt, Asif is currently under investigation for spot-fixing during the fourth Test at Lord’s against England last week. Their names came out of a sting operation carried out by the News Of The World which showed Mazhar Majeed claiming he had bribed the bowlers to bowl deliberate no-balls. Majeed was arrested but released on bail without charge, while the mobile phones of the three cricketers were taken away by police.

ACSU officials question Veena Malik
On September - 2 - 2010
KARACHI: A two-member team of the International Cricket Council anti-corruption and security unit on Wednesday questioned Mohammad Asif’s ex-girlfriend Veena Malik to give evidence in the match-fixing investigation.
Veena Malik’s manager, Sohail Rashid, said on Wednesday that the actress has been approached by the ICC after Asif was implicated in the spot fixing scandal uncovered by a News of the World sting. An ICC spokesman said the game’s governing body does not comment on the ongoing investigations of its anti-corruption unit. Malik said that she believed an Indian national, who often called and sent text messages to Asif, was involved in illegal gambling. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Mohammad Asif has been dropped from a planned role in a South Indian film after he was embroiled in betting scam allegations, Indian media reported on Wednesday. The bowler had been slated to play the lead role in the Malayalam-language film “Mazhavillinattamvare” (Till The Tip Of The Rainbow), which charts the life of a Pakistani cricket coach in the southern Indian state of Kerala.
