3 Pakistan players to meet with officials

Pakistan captain Salman Butt and opening bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif will travel to London on Wednesday to meet with Pakistan officials in the wake of match-fixing allegations.
Team manager Yawar Saeed made the announcement in the team hotel on Tuesday, and said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ejaz Butt and the country’s high commissioner will attend the meeting.
The three players are then expected to
return to the squad, Saeed said.
Pakistan’s cricketers held a closed training session on Tuesday, locked away from a media circus seeking to uncover if the players illegally fixed or manipulated matches.
Pakistan prepared for a warm-up game against Somerset in the western England town of Taunton from Thursday with a net session that was unusually closed to the media.
“It’s a challenge and we will try to make sure they are focused on the game,” Pakistan coach Waqar Younis said of the difficulties in now motivating his players.
Pakistani and ICC officials are due to meet to decide if the implicated players should be suspended from the two Twenty20 games and five one-day internationals against England starting from Sunday.
