This is with reference to reports that Waqar, Afridi and Maj Najam have given testimony confirming continued meetings of Salman Butt, Asif, Kamran Akmal and Amir with the Majeed brothers inspite of warnings not to do so.
The question that remains unanswered is what was the role of Shafqat Rana and Yawar Ali in this shameful episode which has brought shame and disgrace to Pakistan cricket. After all what is the role of a manager and in this case two of them. Reports also suggest that the Asst Manager also had accompanied the players when they were entertained by Majeed.
PCB and its management cannot absolve themselves of their failure to enforce discipline. Mr Ijaz Butt may survive as have many other more incompetent and corrupt men because of their political contacts, but they have done immense damage to cricket in Pakistan.
