The very talented player Pakistan has produced in last 50 years. He was a class batsman who before he retired broke the highest runs in an inning for the first time in 30 years.
Controversy that hits Pakistan
The 2010 Pakistan cricket spot-fixing controversy refers to allegations stemming from a report by News of the World released during the Pakistani cricket team's tour of England that Pakistani players Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt had accepted bribes from agent and bookmaker Mazhar Majeed to purposely under-perform at certain points in the 4th Test at Lord's Cricket Ground in London, England. Undercover reporters from News of the World secretly video-taped Mazhar Majeed accepting money and informing the reporters that fast bowlers Asif and Amir would deliberately bowl no-balls at specific points in an over — information which could be used by gamblers to make wagers with inside information (a process known as spot-fixing, compared with match fixing to predetermine a match result).In response to the revelations and allegations, Scotland Yard arrested Majeed on the charge of match-fixing. The International Cricket Council (ICC) temporarily suspended the three players from playing further in international cricket until their names are cleared of wrongdoing the players deny the charges and maintain their innocence.
