Pakistan trio at centre of betting scam to fly home

The three players at the centre of cricket's spot-fixing allegations - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir - are to return home to Pakistan from England today, their lawyers said.

The three men - charged under the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Code and currently suspended by their sport's world governing body - were questioned by police under caution last week.

Their solicitors Addleshaw Goddard this morning released a statement, on behalf of the Pakistan Cricket Board and the three players.
