Islamabad Ahead of the prestigious match between India and Pakistan on Wednesday, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik has warned his team not to indulge in any match-fixing.
Pakistan cricket has been dogged by match-fixing allegations from time to time, the latest surfacing last August during their tour of England. The tabloid sting which exposed cricketers involved in alleged match-fixing ultimately wiped off Pakistan's formidable pace attack – Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Aamir – and its former captain Salman Butt.
Malik also said he was keeping a “close watch” on the activities of the Pakistani cricket team.
After the sting last August, Pakistan's players were questioned by the Scotland Yard and a bookie was arrested in London.
The 'News of the World' tabloid alleged Pakistani bookie Mazhar Majeed had paid bribes to the players to bowl no-balls in the series and the Lord's Test.
