The former fast bowler of the national team, Muhammad Asif, who was punished in spot fixing, has for the first time openly discussed his views on fixing and punishment.
A video is going viral on social media in which Mohammad Asif is talking to senior journalist Aftab Iqbal. There was a mistake, maybe I had shown someone’s heart or disobeyed for which Allah punished me in the form of this incident, thankfully I got the punishment in that place.
It should be remembered that the national team players Muhammad Asif, Muhammad Amir and captain Salman Butt were banned for deliberately bowling a no-ball in a Test match against England at Lord’s in 2010. International Cricket Salman Butt was banned for 10 years, Muhammad Asif for 7 years and Muhammad Aamir for 5 years by the Anti-Corruption Tribunal of the Council.
The anchor said to Muhammad Asif that you had fixed the matter for hitting only 2 no-balls in the match and not to lose the match. And could develop because some good batsmen of that time said that it is good that Asif got banned, John left.
Muhammad Asif said that I have apologized to Allah and the nation, but there are some hard-hearted people who are still not ready to forgive me. Commenting on the T20 World Cup 2024, he said that the pitches in it They were designed to suit bowlers and the batsmen found it very difficult to play on them, but batsmen who played patiently and spent more time on the pitch were successful.
In response to a question, Muhammad Asif said that other countries did not cry about pitch, that explanation was given only by us. He said that as far as the Pakistan team is concerned, their coaches were appointed some time before the World Cup, while India had been working hard for a long time and knew which players would play.
He further said that if India had done the same hard work on the preparation and coaching of the players, they would have won the tournament.
