Sounds crazy? Not quite.
The Pakistan Cricket Board is reportedly looking into the possibility of suing British tabloid, The Sun, after the newspaper alleged that there was suspicious pattern in the course of the third ODI of the England Pakistan ODI series at the Oval.
The ICC revealed that as investigation was launched upon the newspaper contacting them. But the governing body then dismissed the charges, claiming there was not enough evidence to substantiate the claims.
With the ICC now giving Pakistan the clean chit on the match, the PCB is looking for ways to make the British newspaper pay. Rumours, speculation and allegations were flying thick and fast following the Pakistan player agent/bookie, Mazhar Majeed, revealing the modus operandi and nexus between players and bookies in the course of the fourth Test of the same series.
The ICC is still probing into those issues, and has suspended Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Aamer and Salman Butt pending an inquiry.
The series was not only mired in controversy but also, it allowed every small insinuation to be thrust into the limelight ahead of the cricket on the field. The latest instance has been of another British Tabloid claiming Suresh Raina, the Indian cricketer, hobnobbing with an associate bookie. The allegations were quickly refuted by the BCCI.
