[STD]

Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ijaz Butt is in New Delhi today to meet International Cricket Council (ICC) President Sharad Pawar.

The two are likely to discuss the recent spot-fixing scandal and the revenue sharing for the 2011 Cricket World Cup. (Video Special: Pakistan match-fixing storm)

Pakistan will not be hosting any of the World Cup matches because of the security situation in the country.

Butt will also propose that India and Pakistan kick-off the proposed ICC Test Championship.


In addition, the PCB Chief wants the ICC to suggest a solution about the losses they are incurring due to no international cricket being played in Pakistan.

Speculation was rife that Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ejaz Butt was meeting ICC chief Sharad Pawar to discuss the resumption of bilateral ties between India and Pakistan and issues related to World Cup revenues.

However, MiD DAY has learnt that the purpose of the meeting is purely the spot fixing issue that has shaken up the cricket fraternity.

"He is here to meet the ICC president. The BCCI does not have anything to do with this meeting.

It is a meeting between PCB and ICC," Ratnakar Shetty, CAO of BCCI, said last night.

A top official in the PCB said that spot fixing was the only reason for the meet.

"He will brief Mr Pawar on everything he has learnt about the controversy. This meeting is very important before deciding the fate of the three alleged cricketers," he said.
