Islamabad, Aug 31(ANI): A two-member team of Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will be heading to England in the next couple of days to probe allegations of ‘spot-fixing’ against its country’s cricketers.
The Pakistan Interior Ministry said that the agency’s two top officials -Inam Ghani and Azad Khan - would be in London to gather information on the issue.
The team has been appointed on the direction of Interior Minister Rehman Malik.

Skipper Salman Butt, Amir, Asif and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal have all given statements to the police in this regard.
