The News of the World has published a host of new revelations in the match-fixing scandal including that ICC are investigating an unnamed fourth Pakistan player, while Yasir Hameed has told the newspaper that he was asked by a bookmaker to help fix a Test for £100,000 but turned down the money
Hameed, who played in two of the recent Tests against England, allegedly told the newspaper “almost every match” has been fixed and has slammed his team-mates’ actions. “They’ve been caught. Only the ones that get caught are branded crooks,” he told the newspaper. "They were doing it [fixing] in almost every match.
"God knows what they were up to. Scotland Yard was after them for ages.
