Pakistani star Yasir Hameed blows lid off cricket corruption
INSIGHT: Yasir Hameed claims bent teammates were fixing 'almost every match'
Player who spurned fixer's bribes exposes teammates
A PAKISTAN cricketer who played in the rigged Lord's Test has sensationally confirmed that there WERE cheats in his team.
Respected opening batsman Yasir Hameed claims bent teammates were fixing "almost every match".
And he provided a devastating insight into the shady world of betting scams, telling how he:
- REFUSED bribes of up to £150,000 from a corrupt bookmaker to throw matches.
- LOST his own place in the squad and saw his career damaged as a result.
- WATCHED as crooked colleagues splashed out on plush properties and expensive sports cars funded by their illicit activities.
- LEARNED that shameless players pocketed an astonishing £1.8million for rigging a Test match against Australia earlier this year.
Hameed, once rated amongst the world's finest batsmen, said of his scandal-struck colleagues: "They've been caught. Only the ones that get caught are branded crooks.
"They were doing it (fixing) in almost every match. God knows what they were up to. Scotland Yard was after them for ages.
"It makes me angry because I'm playing my best and they are trying to lose."
And, predicting the likely fate of the players exposed by the News of the World, Hameed added darkly: "The guys that have got done have got themselves killed.
"They're gone - forget about them."
