In what is seen as a setback for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the International Cricket Council (ICC) has refused to intervene on the issue of Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive James Sutherland’s comments on match-fixing.

A top PCB source said the world body had rejected the view that it had not replied to a complaint filed by the PCB over Sutherland’s remarks, saying a reply was sent to Lahore April 27. The ICC also told that it cannot intervene on an issue involving two cricket boards.

Till last week, sources in the PCB were claiming that the board was yet to receive ICC’s reply over its complaint against comments made by Sutherland that last year’s spot-fixing scandal might not have happened had it implemented the recommendations of a pivotal report into match-fixing.
