Cricket-Pakistan fielding coach Ijaz charged with forgery**
KARACHI, March 26 (Reuters) - Pakistani police arrested and charged former test player and national team fielding coach Ijaz Ahmed with alleged forgery on Thursday.
Police officials at the Gulberg police station in the eastern city of Lahore said two property dealers had filed a complaint against Ijaz, 40, for issuing them cheques that had bounced.
The value of the cheques is put at 11 million rupees (approximately $138,000).
"They have filed a forgery case against Ijaz who is under arrest now," police official Rana Jabbar said.
**Pakistan's former test captain Salim Malik, the brother-in-law of Ijaz, denied that his relative had committed any wrongdoing.**
**"The truth is that these property dealers owe money to Ijaz and they have registered a false case against him," Malik said.**
Ijaz played 60 tests and 250 one-day internationals and was a member of the Pakistan team that won the 1992 World Cup.
Ijaz has been working as the fielding coach of the national team for the last few months and was also a senior coach at the national cricket academy.
