Wasim Akram: In my own words - Stumped, BBC World Service

We speak to one of cricket’s greatest fast bowlers of all time, Wasim Akram.
Subscribe - / bbcworldservice
Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta are joined by one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time and former captain of Pakistan, Wasim Akram. He speaks to us about his autobiography discussing the highlights of his career, plus detailing his cocaine addiction and his time in rehab.
Wasim also addresses allegations of match-fixing during his career, again denying any involvement in corruption. In 2000, Pakistan players Saleem Malik and Ata-ur-Rehman were banned for match-fixing. A report into the scandal by Justice Malik Qayyum found Wasim not guilty of match-fixing but did recommend that he be fined and not allowed to captain Pakistan because he refused to cooperate and "cannot be said to be above suspicion".

People talk about justice Quyums report as if justice Sahib was the bastion of justice in the country. Bear in mind there were people within the national team that wanted his images tarnished

[@DonutCHANNELS]

His brother is a fixer too

[@KingKong-rb6xj]

Wasim akram as great a bowler he was , unfortunately was corrupt. Fixed numerous games e.g. v Bangladesh in the 99 world cup. A lot of the ex players testified against him under oath and got away with fine and only escaped a life ban as the judge was a fan of his. The judges words not mine. His brother Nadeem akram ran an underground bookie in Lahore too

The best

[@simplejack1360]

Wasim Akram's a fixer. Even his dad was kidnapped by the bookies over some disagreement. One of his closet friend was a bookie and used to fix matches. Wasim has admit his frienship with that guy and says he doesn't know he was a bookie. Pretty difficult to believe that you don't know one of your closet friend was a bookie who used to fix matches in a sport that YOU played in Even after publishing the Qayuum report in 2000, Justice Qayuum let him go with just a fine. Later in 2005 Justic Qayuum admitted that he was biased in Wasim's favour since he was a fan of his and believed he was an absolute legend of the game and his legacy shouldn't be tarnished. But he was guilty and too big a player to be convicted

[@Alijah007]

This judge was black spot in pakistani judges 😂

[@Indus720]

Match fixer who brought disrepute to gentleman’s game and Justice Qayyum’s report is evident that he was a corrupt who cheated but saved by high and mighty.
