KARACHI (Pakistan): Pakistan’s tainted former captain Salim Malik has refused to answer Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) questionnaire and demanded audio or video recordings.
On May 24, Malik received a letter from PCB’s Anti-Corruption Unit, asking him to respond to a set of questions which include those pertaining to his meetings with some people in London in 2011.
Malik, who was banned for life in 2000 by a judicial commission for match-fixing but was cleared by a sessions court in 2008, had launched a campaign to force the PCB to give him clearance to get back to cricket activities.
Malik, who played 103 Tests and over 200 ODIs, said he was keen to get clearance as his son was a very talented player and he didn’t want him to suffer because of him.
The 57-year-old said he will be replying to the questions with all honesty as he bids to return to cricket again.
“I have sent the questionnaire to my lawyers and I am going to answer to each and each every question honestly. I have had enough of keeping quiet. I will now write down the truth,” he had said earlier.
However, the former Pakistan batsman has now taken a U-turn and demanded that PCB must share the audio and video recordings.
