Pak quick bowler Mohammad Amirs mentor and train, Asif
Bajwa, has declined allegements that the 18-year-old was affected in the Maker
trial match-fixing outrage.
Amir exacted a test best 6-84 in the 4th and final trial
versus England
on Saturday before his attainment was eclipsed by allegements of a
multi-million beat looking ring.
A British tabloid exacts that he and associate possibility
bowler Mohammad Asif advisedly bowled 'no-balls' in a spot-fixing rook.
"I've recognised him for the final eight years and he's
not that sort of chap. He is the best cricketer that's ever make it my academy
and he was besides well educated in Urdu, English and maths," The Dawn
quoted Bajwa, as saying.
"My school is run very strictly and with discipline and
my boys here wouldn't do these things," he added.
Bajwa further defended his star student by claiming that
'no-balls' are part of the game.
"If you bowl a no-ball, it's normal. Umar Gul, Asif and
Amir have all had problems. You can't say these things about Amir just because
he bowled a no-ball," Bajwa told.
"I called him to speak to him last night, but his phone
was off. I hope he will cope OK with the pressure. I'm sure he will because
he's strong," he added.
A British tabloid claims that they've footage of
London-based Mazhar Majeed, the alleged man behind the 150,000-pound betting
scam, accepting money, and in return, he detailed what would happen - and when
- on the field of play next day.
