Pak players, officials involved in fixing: Veena
Asif’s ex-girlfriend to meet ICC officials

Lahore, September 1
Going a step further after claiming that her former boyfriend Mohammad Asif has links with bookies, actress-model Veena Malik today said Pakistan Cricket Board all along knew about this and all national cricketers and officials are “involved in match-fixing from head to toe”.

Malik said she will meet tomorrow ICC's anti-corruption unit official Reza Hasan who arrived in the country today regarding her revelations that Asif has links with Indian bookies. “A senior police officer called me on phone today and told me that an ICC anti-corruption unit official will meet me tomorrow to ascertain the veracity of the revelations I made about Asif and his links with Indian bookies,” Malik told reporters.

“PCB had evidence of this but no action was taken against Asif. From head to toe, Pakistani players and officials are involved in match-fixing,” Malik claimed. She reiterated that Asif was involved in match fixing and his links with bookies had come to light when she travelled with him to Bangkok before Pakistan's tour of Australia.

Malik said Asif's links with bookies was the reason behind she broke off with him. A PCB official, who did not want to be named, said Malik was “heartbroken” after her split with Asif and had been targeting the cricketer since he refused to marry her.

“In the light of this, her allegations should not be taken seriously,” the official said. — PTI
