Pakistan cricket authorities on Hiesday setded a row with the head of the Australian board over comments he made in the wake of a damaging spot-fixing scandal that hit the South Asian teamlastyear.

Three leading Pakistan players, including former Test captain Salman Butt, were banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) earlier this year on corruption charges related to the Lord's Test against England last August.

Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive James Sutherland blamed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for failing to take measures to curb the menace of corruption following a fixing scandal more than a decade ago.

Sutherland's remarks angered the PCB, which wrote to the ICC to ask it to investigate.

But the row fizzled out on Tuesday, with PCB spokesman Nadeem Sarwar telling AFP the sport's governing body had told Pakistan and Australia to sort the spat out between themselves.

"After that PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmad talked to Sutherland on the matter," Sarwar said.
