The former bowler feels that the player's uncertain future can also be affected to this due to lack of system coordination. In an interview with The Nation here on Saturday, Aqib said that there is a dire need to discuss this issue in the Parliament.
“According to the country’s law, the players, who fix the match, and those, who convince the players to fix the match, must be declared criminals. And even if someone doesn’t disclose the approach by any bookies, he must also be banned for life. Unless, the government punishes such elements severely, we can’t clear Pakistan cricket from this fixing curse.”

The head coach of PSL franchise Lahore Qalandars (Aaqib Javed) also said that,
“Fixing has very old roots in the game of cricket, but here in Pakistan, the fixing Pandora box was opened with Justice (R) Malik Muhammad Qayyum’s report, in which he acquitted Salim Malik of all the charges, while he also presented recommendations on some other players including Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Mushtaq Ahmad, Saeed Anwar, Atta-ur-Rehman, Akram Raza and others.
“Soon after the Justice Qayyum’s report received by the PCB, it immediately banned Salim Malik, but nothing was done regarding the recommendations presented by Justice Qayyum. But I think, the PCB should have implemented all these recommendations in true letter and spirit, but nothing was done by the board in this regard. If the PCB had banned all the players mentioned in the report for life and taken strict action of not giving job to any tainted player, no one could dare to even think about fixing,”
he added.
“Later in 2008, when Salim Malik was cleared from the lower court in this case, he met with the then PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt and requested him for a job in the PCB. At that time, I had been working with the NCA and Malik was referred to me by Ijaz Butt. When the ICC came to know about Malik’s job in the PCB, it reacted very harshly, it was because someone, within the board, approached the ICC, which forced the PCB not to give job to Malik,”
he added. The former pacer also showed the precautionary measures to the players in order to get rid of fixing curse.
“This is a clear discrimination that Salim Malik was punished severely after Justice Qayyum’s report, while all his recommendations were taken very lightly. Same is the case with M Amir, M Asif and Salman Butt as only Mohammad Amir was saved and brought back to international cricket, but Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt weren’t supported much in making a comeback to international cricket again. Here are the flaws, which create problems.
“While on the other hand, Amir’s return also gave a very negative message to the youngsters that fix the match, earn money and then beg pardon from the nation and the board and then return to international cricket once again. If the PCB wants to stop this curse of fixing, it has to take very severe decision in this regard as the life ban is only solution to give clear message to all youngsters that even if they will think about such evil thing, they will be banned for life.”
He also suggested not to bring the previously fixed players back on International cricket again. The termed this incident for PCB as a ' strange decision'.
“Pakistan Cricket Board is not an organisation, but a mindset, which is run by Prime Minister and that’s why its policy remains disturbed. Whenever a new PM comes to power, he changes the entire PCB setup and those working at the helms are free from any accountability due to having very close relations with the premier.
“Contrary to this, the system in Indian cricket board is very strong. Every new head of the board comes through proper elections on merit and there is no ad-hoc on the board. There is a proper setup, which helps run the BCCI affairs in better and professional manner. “But here in Pakistan, the system keeps on changing. Lack of proper system in the PCB is one of the major reasons behind the declining standard of cricket in the country and also the key reason behind fixing,"
he exposed.
