Wellington (New Zealand), Jan.12 (ANI): Pakistan coach Waqar Younis is hoping that the national team will get off to a fresh start and play some controversy-free cricket once a decision is taken by an independent tribunal in the spot-fixing case involving Mohammad Asif, Salman Butt and Mohammad Aamir in Doha.
"I hope all goes well and I hope the outcome is what cricket requires. Hopefully things will settle after that and we can play controversy-free cricket for a while," the Daily Times quoted Waqar, as saying on Tuesday after a training session in Wellington.
Pakistan is currently playing a two-Test series against New Zealand.
Waqar confirmed that he gave evidence to the independent anti-corruption tribunal.
"I have given it, it is all finished and all done and let's see what the result is," he said.
The suspended trio have been charged with offences relating to alleged activity surrounding the Test against England at Lord's in August.
British tabloid 'News of the World' alleged that they had taken bribes to arrange for deliberate no-balls to be delivered at pre-agreed times.
Salman, Aamir and Asif have been provisionally suspended since the allegations came to light in the days following the Test but all have denied any wrongdoing.
They face lengthy bans if found guilty by a three-man tribunal chaired by British lawyer Michael Beloff. (ANI)
