Fast bowler Wahab Riaz has become the latest Pakistan cricketer to be questioned by police as a result of the 'spot-fixing' row engulfing the team's tour of England. A brief statement issued by Scotland Yard here on Tuesday said: "We can confirm that today, Tuesday, September 14, one further Pakistani cricketer was interviewed by appointment under caution."
Although the statement did not name Riaz, his interview with detectives was trailed last week by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt, who said: "We have arranged for his interview as we will continue to cooperate and we want to get to the bottom of the matter." Riaz, a 25-year-old left-arm seamer, remains with the squad but has not so far been selected for the ongoing one-day series against England.
