Pakistan Cricket Board again under clouds for allegations of Match Fixing

The British police along with the Scotland Yard raided the hotel accommodation of Pakistani cricket players on the tip off of the match fixing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/7971107/Cricket-match-fixing-suspicion-falls-on-80-games.html

Some of the suspects have been arrested on the suspicions of betting fix. The inquiry has been ordered in Pakistan as well for this scam. President Asif Ali Zardari has asked for a detailed report on this event.

The episode has seriously tarnished the image of Pakistan at home as well as abroad. The Pakistan Cricket Board had not yet recovered from the earlier shocks like humiliating defeats of the national cricket team in various one-day and test matches. The senior management has assured that if the allegations are proved, all those who are involved in the matter will be severely punished.

It is impetant that the matter should be seen from many angles. The view point of a conspiracy against our national team may also not be over looked. A person named Mazhar Maheed who has been arrested by British police may reveal many secrets.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ .

It is hoped that, given the seriousness of the occurrence, the senior management of the PCB and the Government of Pakistan will take effective steps that would ward off the possibility of repetition of such disasters again.
