Four Pakistan cricketers accused of involvement in an alleged betting scam may be asked to withdraw from the remainder of the team’s tour of England and Wales while the investigation continues.

The Pakistan Cricket Board, London’s High Commission for Pakistan and the country’s sports ministry in Islamabad will today hold a conference call to discuss the best way forward regarding Test captain Salman Butt, bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif and wicket keeper Kamran Akmal.

It is expected the quartet will be asked to withdraw from the forthcoming Twenty20 internationals and one-day internationals, which begin on Sunday at Cardiff.
