“I have decided to dismiss the application... all three players accordingly are still for the timebeing unable to participate in cricketing activities,” Michael Beloff, the head of the ICC's code of conduct commission, told reporters.

Later, ICC said in a statement that after considering all the evidence Beloff has rejected both challenges.

“As such, the players remain provisionally suspended from all cricket, pending the outcome of the independent anti-corruption tribunal which will hear their disciplinary cases in due course,” the ICC said in a statement.
