Captain, others questioned in match fixing scandal

Yawar Saeed said that the players had been questioned and had their cell phones confiscated by police.

Pakistan team manager Yawar Saeed said police had questioned captain Salman Butt, pace bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal at the team's London hotel.

Yawar Saeed, speaking at a Lord's news conference alongside Butt, told reporters: "As far as the allegations are concerned, I would still call them allegations.

"It's not really for me within 24 hours to pass a judgment on whether they are true or not."

In a separate interview, Yawar said the mobile phones of Butt, Amir and Asif had been confiscated by the police.
