Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal had been cleared by ICC of all the allegations regarding spot-fixing during the T20 World Cup in West Indies earlier this year.
The Anti-corruption unit of the ICC, after collecting all the evidences including phone records, has found the alleged players innocent, said Pakistani news channel.
Salman Butt told the local channels that they had officially cleared the duo from all the charges 3 weeks ago and we both had received the letters from ICC and also mentioned that the ICC was just formally investigating the phone records and other evidences.
Pakistan in the super eight stage was alleged to have been fixed against England's victory in the T20 World Cup England had outperformed Pakistan by winning the game by 6 wickets.
Salman Butt's suspension from all forms of cricket will continue as the spot-fixing scandal during the England Tests is still under the scanner.
Earlier, Salman Butt had also written a letter to the PCB telling them that he needed money to fight his case against the ICC to get cleared of the spot-fixing allegations. The PCB, however, has not come to a decision on that as yet.
