London, England (CNN) -- The three Pakistani cricket players at the center of an alleged betting scandal say they're innocent -- and the Pakistani high commissioner said Thursday he believes them.
The players met their country's cricket authorities Thursday morning at the Pakistani High Commission in London to discuss the allegations, which have rocked the cricket world.
"They have not been proven guilty," Wajid Shamsul Hassan told a throng of reporters afterward. "And until you are proven guilty, you are innocent".
A police investigation into the alleged scandal is continuing, but no further meeting with police or questioning of the men is scheduled, he said.
Hassan did, however, vow to take legal action to defend the players if necessary.
