TAUNTON: Tainted trio of Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have been dropped by the Pakistan Cricket Board from the limited-overs leg of the England tour, according to team manager Yawar Saeed.
Pakistan team manager Yawar Saeed said that new replacement players will be called in for the series.
The players accused of spot-fixing during the Lord's Test missed a practice game against Somerset in Taunton to meet with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and International Cricket Council (ICC) officials and senior diplomats.
Captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif have been implicated in the scandal following a sting operation by British tabloid 'News of The World'.
Pakistan lost the four-Test series against England 1-3 last week at Lord's where the finale was overshadowed by the 'spot-fixing' scandal.
Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, the three Pakistan players who are at the centre of the spot-fixing controversy have been dropped; however, they had not, been suspended.
The three players are currently in London, where they are due to meet Pakistan's high commissioner to the UK. The PCB chairman, Ijaz Butt, is expected to be at that meeting.
Speaking in Taunton, where the Pakistan team are to play a warm-up match later on Thursday, Saeed said he had taken the decision, and also called for three replacements.
"The T20 squad will remain what it is here this morning, i.e. 13 people," Saeed said.
"When we play the one-day internationals we will be asking for replacements to make the squad up to 16."
The decision comes after several rounds of meetings between Ijaz Butt, ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat and officials of the ECB, at which the PCB is believed to have been advised that the players should not take part in the rest of the tour.

Angelina launches plea for Pakistani relief
NEW YORK: Once again using her celebrity to shed light on a needy cause and being the UN’s ambassador, Angelina Jolie has released a new public service announcement pleading for help in Pakistan.
The United Nations Goodwill Ambassador wants financial support to try improve the dire situation resulting from devastating floods affecting a fifth of the country (nearly 17 million people).
Voicing the desperate need for help, Jolie said in the PSA, “This is not just a humanitarian crisis – it is an economic and social catastrophe."
Jolie, who has already given $100,000 to UNHCR's Pakistani flood relief work, added, “The more support we can give, the greater number of tents, food, clean water and medicine will get to the people in need."
