Summary
Pakistan Cricket Team has returned home after losing Champions Trophy semi-final and is welcomed by match fixing allegations. Interestingly, this time the allegations came from not the cricket fans but from Senates Standing Committee for Sports Chairman Jamshed Ahmed Dasti. Ironically, he overturned his opinion after mere six hours. Talking exclusively to Dunya News, Jamshed Dasti said,I dont know if match fixing took place or not but as Chairman of Senates Standing Committee for Sports I believe its my responsibility to free sports from possible corruption and figure out what are the causes of teams defeat. The whole nation is questioning and even writing to us. Pakistan had already beaten India and if the team had won its match against Australia, it could have defeated India again in the final, he added. Earlier, Jamshed Dasti had said that Ijaz Butt had been failing whereas the match against New Zealand was fixed and it was a joke with the nation. On the other hand, national cricket teams coach Intikhab Alam has termed match fixing rumors as Indian medias propaganda. Talking exclusively to Dunya News, he expressed satisfaction over green shirts performance. Expressing grief over match fixing allegations Intikhab Alam said, the sad thing is that our own people are leveling baseless allegations.
