Salman Butt, one of the three Pakistan players suspended following accusations of spot-fixing, has denied the allegations and says the money found in his room was legitimate.
He said some of the money found in his room includes payment for opening an ice-cream parlour.
Butt was made captain of Pakistan's Test side after Shahid Afridi's retirement midway through the England tour.
During the fourth Test against England at Lord's, Butt, along with seamers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, was implicated in a NEWS OF THE WORLD sting video that alleged the trio was involved in bowling deliberate, planned no-balls.
The International Cricket Council has since suspended the three players from the international game and will decide their fate at an independent tribunal from January 6 to 11 in Doha.
