World cricket's top professional administrator Haroon Lorgat on Wednesday criticised Pakistan chief Ijaz Butt for going public with allegations that England had 'thrown' a recent one-day international.

Lorgat, the International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive, said he wished Ijaz Butt had approached the global governing body, or its anti-corruption and security unit (ACSU), before going public with claims that strained cricket relations between England and Pakistan to breaking point.
