Pak team not involved in match fixing: Nasim Ashraf

ISLAMABAD: Resigned Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Dr. Nasim Ashraf has once again said that no official or player of Pakistan cricket team was involved in the murder of coach Bob Woolmer.

He said that if some one speculates such news than he is not only the enemy of Pakistan cricket but also the enemy of Pakistan.

While answering the questions of Senators at the meeting of Senate Standing Committee on Sports here at the Parliament House held under the chairmanship of Senator Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry, the PCB Chairman said that if Jamaican Police want any player or official in West Indies again, the legal committee of PCB and diplomats would accompany them.

He told that two officials of PCB will remain with the dead body of Bob Woolmer till its departure to South Africa.

He said that Bob Woolmer was murdered on duty and President Musharraf by giving Sitara-e-Imtiaz to Woolmer was really a remarkable move.

He said that Woolmer was just like a family member of Pakistan cricket team and PCB would provide every assistance to Woolmer's family.

I will personally attend the funeral of Bob Woolmer in Cape Town, he added.

He dispelled the rumors that Pakistan cricket team is involve in match fixing and said that if anybody has some evidence he should come forward and we will investigate it with the help of ICC.
