Karachi, April 28: A judicial commission investigating match-fixing allegations in Pakistan cricket postponed hearings today and its findings may now be delayed until after the World Cup, officials said.Former captains Rashid Latif, Aamir Sohail and Javed Miandad sought adjournment citing personal reasons, the registrar of Lahore High Court, Abdus Salam Khawar told AFP.No proceedings were held and the judge, Malik Gayyum, adjourned the hearing to a date to be fixed later, Khawar said.``Apparently, it seems difficult to complete the findings until the World Cup is over,'' he added.The 15-member squad led by Wasim Akram left for England yesterday to participate in the World Cup.Miandad, who resigned as coach, requested the commission for the postponement saying his mother was sick. Latif also cited similar reasons, the registrar said. Only former manager Intikhab Alam was present.``Now, it is for the judge to decide whether he thinks the commission has enough substance to finalise its findings or it should cross-examine more witnesses,'' Khawar said.PCB legal advisor Sibtain Fazli said if the proceedings were held during the World Cup, the judge would hold the hearings ``in camera'' so that performance of the players was not affected.Sources said the commission wanted to wrap up the inquiry quickly but the busy schedule of the judge and the cricket team's hectic tours delayed the final findings.
