PCB knew about match fixing: Veena Malik

After claiming that her former boyfriend Mohammad Asif has links with bookies, actress-model Veena Malik today went a step further saying that Pakistan Cricket Board all along knew about this. She also claimed that all national cricketers and officials are “involved in match-fixing from head to toe”.

Malik told reporters in Lahore today that she would meet tomorrow ICC’s anti-corruption unit official Reza Hasan regarding her revelations that Asif has links with Indian bookies.

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 told her that he was offered 40,000 U.S. Dollars by an Indian bookie to under perform in Australia but he had demanded 200,000 dollars. Malik said Asif’s links with bookies was the reason behind her break 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. The official said that in the light of this, her allegations should not be taken seriously.
