As Pakistan take to the field on Sunday against England, the News of the World tabloid disclosed that the ICC was investigating a fourth Pak cricketer over "match-rigging claims".

Mohammad Aamer, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt have faced police investigation for allegedly delivering no-balls at pre-determined stages of the recent Lord's Test at the behest of bookie Mazhar Majeed.

The report adds that it will reveal how the ICC was now probing a fourth Pakistan touring player over "match-rigging claims". The tabloid is not naming the fourth player for legal reasons.

"The three suspended Pakistan players face a staggering 23 ICC charges between them - each charge runs to six pages.

"Pakistan Captain Salman Butt was warned five times about his responsibilities to report any irregular contact with outside agencies," it said.

The tabloid also said its print edition will publish the "entire investigation starting in January this year including printing the transcripts of every meeting, conversation, email and text exchange".

The new revelations include the claim that between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds of marked bills were recovered from captain Salman Butt's hotel room.

Other revelations include an "explosive claim" by a member of the Pakistan touring team that some of his teammates are "cheats".

"Opening batsman Yasir Hameed tells us bent teammates were fixing 'almost every match'.

He said: 'They've been caught. Only the ones that get caught are branded crooks. They were doing it (fixing) in almost every match. God knows what they were up to. Scotland Yard was after them for ages. It makes me angry because I'm playing my best and they are trying to lose,'" it noted.

However, Hameed denied making any such allegations against his teammates.

The player told Geo News that he had discussed the issue with the team manager.

PCB officials, Pakistan envoy to UK and members of team management huddled for a emergency meeting as a British Tabloid came out with another set of revelations that a fourth player is under ICC probe for spot-fixing.

Pakistan manager Yawar Saeed when contacted in Cardiff said he could not speak as he was attending a meeting.

Sources in the team said the meeting was being held in view of the revelations to be made today by the newspaper and the effect they would have on Pakistan cricket.

"Pakistan's High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan is also involved in the meeting as is the Chairman of the board Ijaz Butt," a source said.

In the last one week, Pakistan cricket has been rocked by the spot fixing and betting allegations against Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, who were suspended by the International Cricket Council and are under investigation by the Scotland Yard.

Former captain Aamir Sohail said Pakistan cricket was facing one of its worst crisis and unfortunately the board was unable to handle the situation properly.

"They have mishandled it from the start and instead of going on the offensive against the ICC have been passive.

The ICC should be questioned how this spot fixing issue has happened when Rashid Latif in 2003 warned them to be careful and was willing to work on the anti-corruption unit.
