The Pakistan Cricket Board could well be considering legal action against England batsman Jonathan Trott, who was involved in an altercation with seamer Wahab Riaz during their tour to England.

Skipper Shahid Afridi had said that Trott called Riaz a fixer hours before the start of the fourth ODI at Lord's. The two were involved in a scuffle and had to be separated by team officials.

According to sources, PCB chairman Ejaz Butt has discussed the matter with the legal team and legal action may be taken as Trott's actions warranted a police case in the United Kingdom.

The source said that the ECB threatening to take legal action over Butt's comments that English players had engaged in match-fixing, might propel PCB to do the same against Trott.
