November 03, 2011 16:17

Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were found guilty of taking bribes to fix part of a Test match against England in a case that prosecutors said revealed rampant corruption at the heart of international cricket.

The Judge also turned down the bail plea of Mazhar Majeed, the man at the centre of the spot-fixing controversy. "You took lion share of spoils," the judge said. The three cricketers face a maximum of seven years in jail for plotting to bowl deliberate no-balls at pre-arranged times during the Lord's Test against England in August last year.
