Islamabad: Former Pakistan cricket team manager Yawar Saeed, who held the post during the 2010 England tour when the team was hit by a spot-fixing scandal, has died of a brain tumour, his family said Thursday.

Saeed, 80, was the son of Pakistan's first-ever captain Mian Mohammad Saeed, who led the country in their unofficial Test in 1948, and the brother-in-law of former captain and paceman Fazal Mahmood, who played 34 Tests. But he was best known for his role as team manager during the spot-fixing scandal, when three Pakistani players -- Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir -- were charged with accepting money for bowling deliberate no-balls during the Lord's Test against England.
