The fast bowler, in his message, stated, “For my cricket fans, some people are trying to portray that I was involved in spot fixing. For records & clarification, it’s important to understand that I never ever did spot/match fixing. I only failed to timely report the bookies offer to relevant authorities (code 2.4.4), for which I’ve sincerely apologized to my entire nation. It has also been proved that I did not delay things out of my ill intentions. One of the pertinent reasons behind this delay was the demise of both of my parents in a short span of 4 months. I was just totally lost after their absence in my life.”
Irfan further added, “Please know that Pakistan is my identity and whatever I am today is because of this country. I cannot even think about trading its pride for anything of this world.”
Just wanted to put up these points for my fans & cricket lovers. Prayers for everyone out there. #PakistanZindabad pic.twitter.com/C4yZXM3Aq1
