Suspended Pakistan players head to Doha for hearing

Three Pakistan Test cricketers suspended over allegations of spot-fixing left Tuesday for Qatar to appear at an international tribunal that could ban them from the game. An International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption tribunal headed by Michael Beloff QC will hear the case in Doha from January 6-11.
The two other members of the tribunal are Albie Sachs of South Africa and Sharad Rao of Kenya. Former Test captain Salman Butt, and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer, were suspended by the ICC in September following spot-fixing allegations against them during the Lord's Test against England a month earlier.
