The trio - all currently suspended by the International Cricket Council and face face life of guilty if accepted bans - were accused by the Crown Prosecution Service for obtaining and accepting corrupt payments and conspiracy to cheat.
Agent Mazhar Majeed was also charged, a first hearing planned for the city of Westminster Magistrates' Court on 17 March. The CPS has confirmed that the extradition orders are requested if three players fail to appear in court.
Three players were questioned by Scotland Yard detectives on the applications that they have accepted cash to deliberately not Bowl-balls, a report of infiltration in the news of the world.
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.".
Quotations for the same date of the Court were issued for three players and they have been asked to return voluntarily, as they were accepted in September last year. Their extradition be sought they fail to return.
"The Crown Prosecution Service works closely with the Metropolitan Police Department that fake matches allegations became public on August 29, 2010."
"We received a complete file of evidence on December 7, 2010, and we believe the evidence is sufficient for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute."
"I remind everyone that these men are entitled to a fair trial and that it should be regarded as innocent of these charges, unless it is proved in court."
"The International Cricket Council Court is due to announce its decision to tomorrow, but criminal procedure is now active." "It is extremely important that nothing should be reported which could prejudice the trial".
