London, Aug. 29: The man at the centre of match-fixing allegations connected to the Pakistan team, on tour of England, Mazhar Majeed, has revealed that he was plotting for Pakistan to lose two one-day internationals against England next month.
“Boss I’m telling you, the timing you’ve come into. It’s perfect because the one dayers and Twenty20s are about to start and we’re going to be making a hell of a lot money,” News of The World quoted Majeed, as saying.
He incredibly said he could guarantee that Pakistan would lose two one-day internationals.
He also explained many players wanted Test skipper Salman Butt to remain captain for all matches, and were unhappy when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the national selection committee asked Shahid Afridi to lead the side for the one day internationals and Twenty20 matches.
Majeed said: “A lot of the boys want to f*** up Afridi because he’s trying to f*** up things for them. They all want Butt to be captain. They want to lose anyway.”
