Islamabad: Ahead of their crucial World Cup semi-final against India, Pakitani cricketers have been warned not to indulge in any match-fixing by Interior Minister Rehman Malik who said he was keeping a close watch on their activities.
I gave a warning that there should be no match-fixing. I am keeping a close watch. If any such thing happens, we are going to take action, Malik said two days ahead of the game in Mohali which will showcase one of the world's most intense sporting rivalries.
Malik said that though he was sure the team has very clean members, intelligence is being gathered on the Pakistani cricketers, including who are meeting them and the position of their telephones.
This is necessary because we can't take a chance after what happened in London, he said, in a reference to a recent match-fixing controversy in Britain involving three Pakistani players.
Malik, who made the remarks during an interaction with the media in the port city of Karachi, also had some advice....
