Mazher Majeed, who represented several Pakistan players, also said he attempted to fix a passage of play during the World Twenty20 tournament in 2010 and that he “groomed” young players in the squad as they would be “around for years”, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Majeed claimed to control Butt, Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz. He also named Imran Farhat but, the prosecution added, Majeed clarified he was “not completely in the circle”.
Butt and Asif deny charges of cheating and accepting corrupt payments relating to the Lord’s Test in 2010. Majeed and Amir are not part of current proceedings and the jury have been told their absence from the dock is “nothing sinister”.
The jury were read texts sent between Majeed and Butt in May last year during which they allegedly discussed fixing games at the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies.
In one message the agent texted Butt at 2.30am on May 9: “Ok, how about the other thing — one in the seventh over and one in the eighth?”
