London, England (CNN) -- The three Pakistani cricket players at the center of betting allegations in London plan to leave the United Kingdom on Friday, police said.
All three were interviewed by police last week under caution, meaning police believed they may have committed a crime. The players have promised to return to help investigators "in due course," London's Metropolitan Police said.
The betting scandal has rocked the cricket world, with allegations that members of the Pakistan national team were involved in spot-fixing during Pakistan's Test series with England late last month.
Spot-fixing involves deliberately throwing parts of a game, rather than the whole match.
The News of the World, the British tabloid that first reported the allegations, said players deliberately bowled "no balls," or fouls, at specific points in the game and that the alleged ringleader made 150,000 pounds (about $230,000) in the scam.
