Disgraced Pakistani cricketer, Salman Butt told the International Cricket Council's spot fixing inquiry that he did not know how his agent had predicted with such accuracy when no-balls would be bowled in the Lord's Test match against England in August 2010, reported the BBC.com last night.
Butt's evidence came as he and two other Pakistan players, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of breaking the ICC's anti-corruption code, at a hearing in Doha.
In brief opening statements responding to the allegations, fast bowler Amir also told the three-man commission chaired by Michael Beloff QC that he did not know why businessman Mazhar Majeed told the News of the World when the no-balls would be bowled. But in a sign that divisions between the three players are already emerging, Asif took a different line, telling the tribunal that he bowled a no-ball by mistake.
