PCB chief denies claims
LONDON, March 26: The Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf has denied the Pakistan cricket team were involved in any kind of match-fixing or corruption, Sky Sports website reported on Monday, as the Bob Woolmer murder investigation continued.
Dr Nasim said: “I am absolutely convinced, I have no information or proof that there is any corruption in Pakistani cricket at all.
“There is no idea or anything of that nature to suggest that there is any corruption involved or any match-fixing linked to the Pakistani cricket team.
“This has been a terrible ordeal, the boys have been through terrible stress. No-one could have imagined that in a gentleman's came like cricket things like murder could happen so it's been a tremendous shock for all of us.
“We have been the victims of this dastardly crime – our boys have been through hell – so it's vital that whoever is responsible is brought to book. Our boys are on their way home to be with their families – you can imagine what their families have been going through.”—AFP
