The three players and cricket agent Mazhar Majeed were charged with obtaining and accepting corrupt payments and conspiracy to cheat. Violations carry maximum penalties of seven and two years in prison respectively.
The alleged offences arise Test of God last summer in which Majeed alleged have accepted £ 150,000 journalists infiltration and ordered players to bowl with three bullets with some order. The alleged fixing spot has been exposed by the news of the world.
The CPS has taken a very unusual step on Thursday evening to reveal that they would announce their decision on charges of today and that they can cope with any questions about the public interest in bringing charges against three players, particularly where they have been banned by the ICC.
Simon Clements, of the SCP, said: "these charges relate to allegations that Mr. Majeed accepted money from a third party to organize players Bowl non-balles on August 26 and 27, 2010, during the fourth test of Pakistan cricket ground in London Lord."
"Dr. Majeed was summoned to appear for a first hearing in the Court of the city of Westminster Magistrates' March 17.".
