**JP** Yasir was offered money to speak against team mates - an open scandal!!! will it matter ?

Here is Yasir Hameed's statement.... so why anyone wants him to speak against his team mates?? No one now talking about the "scandal", as it becomes more obvious, day by day... will anyone be caught on the scandal and the planning going on behind this scandal? for sure, this is not coming from our chairman of PCB, nor the ICC chairman, both of whom should be charged under the crime of gross injustice to our players and airing the negative feelings against Pakistan and these players, without any investigations!!! This will go in the history as an open plot against our cricketers, but will that stop Pakistan bring more talent to terrorize those who cannot play them in the field? All the england batsman collapsed when they faced our opening bowlers, so did Australians, how can this continue..it need to be stopped..and so it is!!!

The Pakistan opener, Yasir Hameed, has clarified a string of allegations attributed to him in the News of the World, claiming that he was only repeating information he had read in the newspaper's original report last Sunday.

Hameed was the victim of an undercover video sting in this Sunday's paper, in which he is seen talking to a man, the undercover reporter, in Nottingham a few days after the end of the Test series. Hameed spent Sunday at the Pakistani High Commission issuing a statement read out by PCB legal advisor Taffazul Rizvi which re-iterated the comments made to ESPNcricinfo late on Saturday

Hameed says the man came to him claiming to be a representative of a global airline and wanted to talk about possible sponsorship deals. "I have never spoken to the NOTW and I haven't said anything like this," he told ESPNcricinfo. "I was only talking about what I had heard from the original NOTW reports anyway."

In his statement, Hameed said that after discussing sponsorship deals, the man he knew by the name of Abid Khan, offered him a sum of £25,000 to give a statement against his three team-mates who found themselves at the centre of the spot-fixing controversy to which Hameed said, he, "immediately refused and put the phone down. I was neither called nor answered any calls from Abid after this conversation."
