Scotland Yard levels no charge on players: Pakistan Hight Commission » ChowkYadgar

LONDON: Pakistan High Commission in London said Tuesday Scotland Yard Police merely carried out investigation with Pakistani players alleged of cricket betting scam but however, they have so far leveled no charges upon them, Geo News reported.

In a statement issued from Pakistan HC in UK, shelving the impression that cricket team has been asked to abandon ongoing visit, said: “Neither any action is in progress against alleged players nor have they been asked to come back home.”

There is no truthfulness in news pertaining to leaving out any player from squad neither the tour is going to be called off, the statement went on saying so.

The statement said that no FIA team is flying to London to probe into betting allegations against seven players as the matter is currently in hands of Scotland Yard Police for investigation.

Statement also clarified that those arrested including a woman were accused of money laundering on contrary to fixing matches, leaving the matter entirely unlinked with betting scam.

Scolding news media over their conduct in connection with betting allegations, the statement warned newsmen against exaggerating the matter, saying no evidences have proven positive against players as yet.

This is going to be yet another kamran-akmal-style-let-go scenario with these cricketers.

This is going to be yet another kamran-akmal-style-let-go scenario with these cricketers.

So what do you want, yes our cricket board is full of clowns. But now what is the remedy for this problem. Do you want us to lynch them, let them be proven guilty first. And then talk. And as per the reports that Asim has posted, it is looking very unlikely.

Most in Pakistani team are not there cause they were the best of the best they are there cause they paid heavy bribes so they aren't in it for the love of there country or love of the game they are simply there to make as much as they can as fast as they can.


Another one of those events that make me proud to be a Pakistani.

Totally wrong it's true that they have paid heavy bribes but it's because they have to pay it, otherwise they may not be in the team... No matter what amount of love you have for the game or your country you have to pay the bribes... I mean that's the only way to get into the team currently... and I tell you what the club owners or the promoters of players are pauing these amounts not the players themselves coz most of the time these players are not wealthy enough to pay those heavy bribes...
and now you can understand the rest of things that why they are involved in match fixing if they are...

Like I said I trust in the players

This "BRITISH /Aussie" mind set to put salt in wounds of performing Pakistani players is nothing new

I have seen it several times

Pictures of players with girls or picture of players with fans - false nonsense about - disagreement

Bottom Line is

> Salman Butt had a tremendous series vs Australians
> Amir and Asif have been the new 'WW'
> Riaz has been solid new addition

We just need out batsmen to grow some balls and play



That tabloid should be sued for 5 Million dollars it must have made 30-40 million form sales of its tabloids

Its common sense , in test match if you nb 1-3 balls you should be praised for your good quality bowling no nonesense

Pak match-fixing scandal: Did 'Mumbai Don' approach Brett Lee too?

New Delhi: After Brad Haddin and Shane Watson, two more Australian cricketers have alleged that they were approached by the match fixer during Australia's tour to England last year.

According to a report issued by Cricket Australia, Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson were also approached by the same Indian gangster who had earlier tried to lure Haddin and Watson.

The report also suggests that all four players rebuffed all offers made by the fixer and instead chose to alarm the team manager. This was later communicated to the ICC too.

A report published in the Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday morning had suggested that Watson and Haddin, were approached by the Indian gangster with links to illegal bookmakers during Australia's tour of England last year and then the T20 World Cup.

The newspaper report said both cricketers reported the incident to authorities and neither was suspected of any wrongdoing. It also said that the same man approached other international cricketers, an official from Cricket Australia and a member of the media during the T20 World Cup in England.

The ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) is believed to have started investigating this.

Pakistan's Australian tour in January this year, particularly the Sydney Test, has now come under scrutiny after a British tabloid published details of a sting operation where a bookie boasted of how he had fixed matches.

However it has now emerged that the ICC's ACSU had told three countries in the sub-continent to keep a close watch on their players. One of the tainted Pakistani players Mohamed Asif's former girlfriend Veena Mallik claims that the bowler had told her that Pakistan would not win any match till 2010.

yeah it seems like a fake picture... may be edited with clone-stamp tool...

According to Samaa Tv the sister of Bookie(Mazhar Majeed) Rafia majeed is Indian national and she was arrested yesterday for investigation. Rehman Malik did a good thing to send FIA agents if Indian hand proved in this fixing scandal than we have to do something similar in CWG and 2011 WC.

Scotland Yard finds no solid evidence of match fixing

Man the entire world must apologize for its rude and abrasive comments then. Myself included, I've been quite harsh to these players myself in a knee-jerk reaction.


Quote:
LONDON: The Lords Cricket Test match fixing scandal has entered its final and dramatic phase, with the Scotland Yard’s investigation team failing to find any concrete evidence of match fixing.

Responsible and reliable sources of Scotland Yard had informed on Tuesday that despite ‘the video and other proofs’ as provided by the British tabloid, no credibility has been so far established regarding the scandal so far.

Hence there have been no proofs that the main scandalous and shadowy character of match fixer, Mazhar Majeed ever had any contacts with fast bowlers Muhammad Asif or Muhammad Aamir.

Besides the video provided to Scotland Yard also fails to display the usual time and date formats as depicted in any such videos. Sources have informed that Scotland Yard feels that all no balls by Pakistani team during the Lords Test Match were delivered quite well before they were inducted in the video tape by the notorious Match fixer. However the video was closely scrutinized by Scotland Yard foe further evidences.

Can I say, I told you so?


Quote:
Sources have also expressed that Scotland Yard was also toying with the notion of a possible trap laid and executed by the notorious British tabloid, of indulging in false reporting in a bid to soil the name of Pakistani team.

It is also doubtful that the alleged notes as displayed (having dubious denominations) were really UK pounds 10,000 at all!

Replying to a question, sources informed that first information, lists and other proofs provided to Scotland Yard, claiming that Pakistani players did possess 1,50,000 UKL at all: a prize Scotland Yard and British police desperately sought during their joint raid. Other objects recovered from the rooms of the players also failed to yield any results or credible proofs.

Investigators were also trying to solve the mystery, as to why the notorious British tabloid had published the report two days later, as the no-balls of Pakistani players were conducted on the (very same) second day of the test match.

This is huge if true and once Scotland Yard makes it official, Pakistan better tear a new one to all the people who wanted lynch Pakistan. However now that the book on Match fixing has been opened again, the investigations should not stop and the real culprits should be nabbed.

I want to see Indian faces after reading this

Indian faces in the Vedio !!

Butt, Amir, Asif to meet PCB chief, high commissioner

TAUNTON: The three Pakistan cricketers embroiled in spot-fixing allegations are to leave the squad on Wednesday to face their cricket chief and government authorities, de facto sidelining them from the team.

Test captain Salman Butt, plus bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, were to leave Pakistan’s training camp in Taunton, southwest England, and head to London for a meeting with officials.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said it will not suspend them while the allegations are being investigated, though their date in London means they are set to miss the next match, effectively deferring the highly contentious decision over whether they should play on.

Pakistan are due to face county side Somerset in Taunton on Thursday in a warm-up match ahead of their limited overs internationals against England.

Butt, Amir and Asif are set to miss out as they head for talks with PCB chairman Ijaz Butt and Wajid Shamsul Hasan, Pakistan’s high commissioner (ambassador) to Britain.

It is thought the three players will not rejoin the squad until Friday at the earliest.

It appears increasingly likely that they will play no further part in the tour.

Following the Somerset warm-up, Pakistan face two Twenty20 matches against England in Cardiff on Sunday and Tuesday, then five one-day internationals.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has promised “prompt and decisive action” if the “spot-fixing” allegations made by Britain’s biggest-selling newspaper are proven.

Customs officials in Britain said they had arrested and bailed two men and a woman on Sunday “as part of an ongoing investigation into money laundering”.

A source confirmed the arrests were linked to the cricket scandal.

They were a man and a woman, both aged 35 and from Croydon in south London, and a 49-year-old man from Wembley in northwest London.

“These individuals were arrested, questioned and have been bailed pending further investigation,” Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs said in a statement.

The News of the World tabloid alleges that Mazhar Majeed, a 35-year-old Croydon-based agent for several Pakistan players, took 150,000 pounds (185,000 euros, 230,000 dollars) to arrange for deliberate no-balls to be bowled at precise points in the final Test match against England in London last week.

The information would be of enormous value to the spot-betting industry, where money is wagered on specific incidents in matches.

The weekly newspaper produced audiovisual footage of their dealings with Majeed on their website and printed conversation transcripts and pictures.

Majeed was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers in the wake of the allegations, but was released on bail without charge on Sunday, to return on a future date.

Detectives interviewed Butt, Asif and 18-year-old prodigy Amir, who delivered the no-balls – normally an accidental and unpredictable occurrence – and police seized their mobile phones.

Pakistan held a training session at the County Ground in Taunton on Tuesday, but reporters were barred on the request of the Pakistan team.

Somerset chief executive Richard Gould told AFP: “I think in these particular circumstances, we understand.”

The world of cricket has reacted with shock and dismay to claims that huge sums of money had changed hands in alleged fixing schemes at international level, linked to shadowy betting rings.

Investigators from the ICC’s anti-corruption and security unit are in Britain looking into the allegations. —AFP
