Pakistan senators demand action on match-fixing

LAHORE, Pakistan, May 22, 2010 (AFP) - Pakistani senators Saturday lashed out at authorities for not taking action against players involved in match-fixing, saying the cricket board should be disbanded to save the sport.

"The present management has failed to take any action against players involved in match-fixing and they must be removed to save Pakistan cricket," Senator Haroon Akhtar told reporters at the national cricket academy.

MPs from the lower house of parliament have summoned Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt, former captain Younus Khan, former coach Intikhab Alam and former manager Abdul Raqeeb to discuss match-fixing on Monday.
