Kingsley Napley is among a raft of law firms to have taken advisory roles relating to cricket’s ‘spot-fixing’ scandal, which has seen three Pakistani internationals handed jail terms.

Former captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were jailed on Thursday (4 November) after being convicted of conspiring to bowl deliberate no-balls in a test match against England. A fourth man, cricket agent Mazhar Majeed, was also sentenced to a prison term for his role in the betting scam.
