At the weekend the registrar of the Lahore High Court sent a summons to Warne and Waugh, the two Australian cricketers who were fined by the Australian board in 1995 for their involvement with a Delhi bookmaker in 1994.

Just over two months ago Waugh and Mark Taylor, representing Shane Warne, gave evidence before Justice Malik Mohammed Qayyum in Pakistan. But at that stage the Australians did not reveal that Warne and Waugh had already been fined for giving information to an Indian bookmaker.

Justice Qayyum feels that this non-disclosure affects the credibility of the evidence given by the Australians and would now like to question them further.

However, he said yesterday: ``We have offered to pay their fares and all their expenses but I'm not very hopeful they will come. However, whatever they do, they will not derail my inquiry into match-fixing in Pakistan cricket and I hope to report to the president of Pakistan by the end of the month.''

On Saturday Justice Qayyum heard evidence from a Lahore bookmaker and he is now waiting to hear evidence from Test player Aamir Sohail. He has also collected data on the assets of the Pakistan players.
