The Pakistan Cricket Board has expressed concern as charges of match fixing haunt the national cricket team again, and is contemplating legal action if the charges are proved wrong.

According to The Express Tribune, a PCB official revealed that the PCB was talking to the ICC and it maintained a zero tolerance policy on corruption.

An ICC spokesperson when contacted refused to speak on the matter, adding that the ICC, as per its standard operating procedure, does not comment on matters relating to the ACSU, the report said.

A former cricketer expressed discontent on the report while saying that such premature reports where Pakistan is involved were not correct because there were also many suspicious games where Pakistan was not involved, the report added.
