More trouble for Ijaz Butt

The National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports has expressed dissatisfaction over Ijaz Butt's attitude towards the committee following the PCB chairman's absence at the committee meeting on Tuesday.

Pakistan cricket team coach Waqar Younis, and selectors Wasim Bari and Mohsin Hassan Khan appeared before the committee which was discussing the England tour and the spot-fixing scandal among other things. However, the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt could not attend the meeting as he is presently in Dubai.

The committee termed his absence as further evidence of irresponsible behavior as he did not give any reason for his absence.

Butt was recently caught up in the spot-fixing scandal that rocked the cricketing world. He had earlier drawn the ire of of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports when the chairman of the committee had said that Butt should be sacked or the entire committee would be resign.

However, COO of the Cricket board, Wasim Bari claimed otherwise. He said the sports ministry knew Butt would not be able to attend.
