Karachi, Nov. 30: In the new video, Mazhar, who posed as the agent for the Pakistani cricketers, is heard telling the undercover reporter who posed as a businessman interested in making money from spot fixing that he had seven players on board with him.
It is not clear about the date of the video footage but it seemed that it was during Pakistan’s tour of England in August as Majeed talked about Salman Butt as captain. The reporter as he settles down in the room asked Majeed, “So what is the latest.”
Majeed then proceeded to take the names of the suspended trio and four other players — Imran Farhat, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz as the players who are on board with him. “I have seven out of 11 players,” Majeed boasted. He said in the video that he only targetted the younger players as he planned for the future and did not concentrate on senior players.
“I have only targeted younger players in the side as it is long term thinking,” Majeed said. To a question about how dependable is Salman Butt, Majeed said that Butt is 200 per cent dependable and trustworthy and he will remain Pakistan captain for a long time. He said that Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Younis Khan and Saeed Ajmal were not involved in corruption.
