I had warned Butt and Asif: Ex-Pak team manager Saeed

Islamabad: Pakistan cricket has been badly tarnished by guilty verdicts handed down on Tuesday to two former star players in a London court over a spot-fixing betting scam, the team's former manager said.

"It's a sad day for all of us and I'm very sad that this beautiful game of cricket has had to see this day," said Yawar Saeed, who was manager of the team during the fateful tour of England when the betting scam was uncovered.

'This verdict is best example for world cricket'

Cricket experts, officials and former cricketers react to the spot fixing verdict that was announced on Tuesday.

A few years ago when the Justice Qayuum report announced its verdict, served us with a warning and cautioned the PCB, nothing was done about it. That's not the fault of the Justice Qayuum committee. I don't think this verdict will make a difference to Pakistan or international cricket. If some players are out of the Pakistan team, others will take their place.
