Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has filed a "comprehensive and hard-hitting" response to allegations of spot-fixing ahead of an International Cricket Council tribunal, his lawyer said.
Butt's lawyer Shahid Saeed also hit out at ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat for violating a confidentiality agreement.
"Butt on December 13 has filed a detailed, comprehensive and hard-hitting 40-page response to each and every allegation brought by the ICC with regard to spot-fixing levelled against him," Saeed said in a statement.
No details of the reply would be made public, the statement said, because of the confidentiality agreement ufffd which it said Lorgat had breached.
"The ICC itself is violating the agreement, as evident from the recent comments of Lorgat," said the statement, referring to remarks the chief executive made to the BBC saying he "would be disappointed if the tribunal finds Pakistani players accused of spot fixing not guilty."
