Butt added that if any of his subordinates raises the issue of match-fixing, "he is talking nonsense." In a leaked video recording of an inquiry committee hearing, Pakistan team coaches Intikhab Alam and Aqib Javed raised suspicions about the performance of wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal during the winless tour of Australia earlier this year.
Alam said that he was flabbergasted when Akmal missed a run out of Shane Watson in the Sydney test and later came across suggestions of match-fixing.
Senator Haroon Akhtar, a member of upper house standing committee on sports, said he was surprised and shocked by Butt's stance.
"Couple of months back, PCB showed us the same video footage in which our team coaches clearly raised doubts of match-fixing during the series against Australia," Akhtar said.
Butt said the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Unit has instigated strict security measures for all international matches.
"Nobody is allowed to enter into players' dressing room, only the manager carries a mobile phone with him during international matches and there are several other security measures which they take," Butt said.
"It's (match-fixing) all media hype and nothing else." Akhtar questioned Butt's suggestion that the ICC has eradicated match-fixing.
"When our coaches have raised their doubts of match-fixing, it is the responsibility of the PCB to take up this issue," Akhtar said.
Butt said former captain Younis Khan's career was ruined by false match-fixing allegations when a parliamentarian accused Pakistan of throwing the semifinal of the Champions Trophy in South Africa last year.
The PCB fined and suspended seven cricketers — including Younis — on an inquiry committee recommendation for a lack of discipline and poor performance during the tour of Australia.
"How can you suspend and fine players heavily for only poor performance and ill discipline?There is more into it," Akhtar said.
Butt said he approved all the fines and suspensions. Six players have since appealed against suspensions and fines.
The PCB chief said that arbitrator Irfan Qadir will submit his report to the cricket board's governing board, which will take the final decision.
"Let the appeals be completed and I will not comment until we get the final report from the arbitrator," Butt said.
Akmal, meanwhile, demanded an unconditional apology from Alam and Javed for accusing him of match-fixing.
"They should produce evidence of match-fixing against me, otherwise they should apologize to me unconditionally," Akmal told leading Urdu-language daily Jang.
Akmal said he was going through tough times since the accusation was made.
"It's difficult for me to go out of home because people pass various remarks," he said. "The accusations have tarnished my image and put a stain on it." Akmal plans to meet Butt after he returns from a trip to England and will seek his approval to take legal action against Alam and Javed.
"If they don't apologize on these fabricated allegations, I will certainly go to the court." He said that in the past great wicketkeepers like Wasim Bari, Moin Khan and Rashid Latif also dropped catches in international matches, "but it doesn't mean that whenever a player dropped a catch he is involved in match-fixing."
