Butt demands ICC CEO sacking

PCB chief Ejaz Butt demanded the sacking of Haroon Lorgat from the post of ICC CEO over his role in handling match-fixing row.

"It's terrible," Butt reacted when asked about the ICC's decision to investigate the third ODI.
"With no proof, just got some material from the media.
What's this, nonsense," he said.
"He (Lorgat) is an employee of ICC. ICC in their meeting should consider sacking him (Lorgat). They should also investigate the English team. Go ahead and investigate both sides and see who is responsible," Butt added.
As per ICC rules, Lorgat should have informed both the boards before taking any decision on the spot-fixing allegations levelled by a British newspaper 'The Sun' against the Pakistani team. But the ICC CEO, instead of consulting the two boards, issued a statement to the media.
Continuing his flip-flops, Butt had said that he was in no mood to back down from his strong statements against the ECB and ICC on spot-fixing allegations against his team.
The statement came after Butt did a U-turn where he said that he never accused the England team of match-fixing, barely a day after suggesting that English players had thrown the Oval ODI and that they should be investigated by the ICC.

Meanwhile, Pakistan team manager, Yawar Saeed rubbished reports that he had stepped down as Pakistan team manager due to constant pressures resulting from the spot-fixing allegations against the team, Yawar Saeed said "people would laugh if I resigned with just one match to go on the tour".
"I'm not an employee of the board and nor do I have a long-term contract with it, so there is no question of resigning," Saeed said from London.
