The International Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday rejected the appeals of Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Aamer against suspensions for spot-fixing.

The two, along with fast bowler Mohammad Asif, were provisionally suspended by the ICC over allegations they were involved in spot-fixing during Pakistan’s summer tour of England.

All three appealed, but Asif later withdrew his application.

ICC code of conduct commissioner Michael Beloff announced the decision after a two-day hearing which started early on Saturday, saying the players will have to appear before another tribunal to further their cases.

“Having considered every aspect of the case I dismiss the appeals and they remain suspended,” Beloff told reporters.
