'ICC sent Butt, Akmal notices after World Twenty20'

Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal were sent notices by the ICC this year after the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean, PCB chairman Ijaz Butt has said. However, the notices were sent directly to the players and without the ICC informing the PCB they were being sent.

"That is confidential for now and we don't know the details of that," Ijaz Butt said in Lahore, where he was addressing a press conference on Thursday.

ESPNcricinfo had on Monday reported that two Pakistan cricketers - part of the squad in England - were issued notices by the ICC seeking information nearly a month before the spot-fixing scandal broke during the Lord's Test last month. It is not immediately clear whether this is the same case Butt referred to.
