Geo 436 ISLAMABAD: The former girlfriend of Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif has been asked to give evidence to the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit in a match-fixing investigation.
Veena Malik’s manager Sohail Rashid on Wednesday said the actress has been approached by the ICC. Asif and teammate Mohammad Amir have been implicated in a spot fixing scandal uncovered in a British tabloid newspaper sting.
“They have approached Ms. Malik and will be soon meeting with her,” Rashid told mediamen.
Rashid was not sure when and where the meeting will be held.
An ICC spokesman said the game’s governing body does not comment on the ongoing investigations of its anti-corruption unit.
The actress suspects that an Indian national, who often called and sent text messages to Asif was involving in illegal gambling.
“I was surprised why a guy from India is calling so frequently and sending texts to Asif,” Malik said.
“That was quite suspicious for me …later on he (Asif) went to Thailand to have meeting with this particular guy.”
In England on Wednesday, three Pakistan cricketers implicated in match-fixing allegations were sent to London to face an inquiry with Pakistani officials.
Test captain Salman Butt and pace bowlers Asif and Amir left the team hotel in Taunton to head to London.
