Pakistan bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif have joined captain Salman Butt in appealing their suspensions from the game over allegations of spot fixing, a television channel reported on Sunday.
Amir and Asif have sent their appeals and replied to the notice issued to them by the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption and security unit through their lawyers, the channel reported quoting sources close to the players.
Butt had already filed his appeal last week. The three have been suspended until newspaper allegations have been investigated that they fixed parts of games during the tour of England which finished last month.
They have denied wrongdoing and have been supported by Pakistan cricket chiefs. The Pakistan Cricket Board's legal advisor Talib Rizvi, contacted by Reuters, said since it was a weekend he was not aware of whether the players had sent their appeals.
"But they are working through their own lawyers who were working on the appeals. The board had advised them to send the appeals to the ICC as soon as possible," Rizvi said.
