The Court of Arbitration for Sport says it has received appeals by three Pakistan cricketers who were banned for spot-fixing in a match against England.

CAS says Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt have filed challenges to their five-year suspensions imposed by the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption tribunal last month.

Butt also got a further suspended five-year ban, and Asif a two-year suspended sanction. CAS says it will now work to set a date for their appeal hearings.

Cricket's governing body found the three players collaborated to bowl no-balls at prearranged times during the fourth test at Lord's last August.
