    Basit Ali accuses Shoaib Malik of alleged match fixing, slams PCB

    Pakistani former cricketer Basit Ali has accused Shoaib Malik of match-fixing and slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for appointing him as the mentor of Team Stallions for the Champions Cup.

    While speaking on his YouTube channel, “If anyone wants proof, I will give it. People who can’t think about the country should not be appointed, and how PCB mentored those who admitted they lost a match on purpose.”

    In an interview given to Ramiz Raja, Shoaib Malik admitted to losing a match on purpose.

    The former cricketer also criticised Malik for making the young wicket keeper-batsman Muhammad Haris the captain of Stallions instead of Babar Azam. He said, “You can take 10 players like Haris out of Babar Azam’s pocket. Babar should have taken a stand like Umar Akmal or Ahmed Shahzad in these circumstances and refused to play under Haris’ captaincy.”

    Babar Azam is part of the stallions, which are participating in the ongoing Champions Cup and playing under Muhammad Haris’s captaincy.
