Connection of Asif Afridi's start to meet with Bangladesh league

The connection of spinner Asif Afridi's case has started to meet with the Bangladesh league as the suspended cricketer had offered a Test cricketer for fixing last year. 

The cricketer reported the matter to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and an investigation started.

As per details, PCB suspended spinner Asif Afridi for violating the anti-corruption code. More facts regarding this case are also beginning to be clear.

As per sources, Asif's complaint was first made to the board by a Test cricketer last year. He said the spinner had offered to join the Bangladesh League during the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.

At the same time, in some matches, he had indicated to "play" for someone else, but the said cricketer refused to do so while declaring himself as Amin and also reported the matter to PCB.

During the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, the anti-corruption unit took Asif's mobile phone into custody.

He confessed to the crime in a video statement, but he said the mistake was not only to report the suspicious contact to the board.

Someone from the Bangladesh League offered him to come and play in a few matches and do whatever we say. According to Asif, there was no intention of inducing a fellow cricketer for fixing. 

The spinner's name had already been included in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) draft and Multan Sultans also selected him, but by that time, reports about Asif Afridi had started circulating in the cricket circle.

This was the reason why Multan Sultans didn't give him a chance in the first eight matches. PCB didn't take any action; therefore, the left-arm spinner was included in the last five games, where he took eight wickets at an average of 15.50.

PCB also handed him NOC for Afghanistan T20 League while also allowing him to play in Kashmir Premier League (KPL).

The justification given in this regard is that the other cricketers accompanying the spinner were allowed to play to expose them and were kept under observation.

A former Test cricketer coach of a team is also included in the list of suspicious persons, along with two other cricketers.

According to some circles, reports regarding Asif Afridi in KPL came to light even after suspicions were raised last year.

PCB has given Asif 14 days to give a written reply. The board spokesperson has already clarified that no comment can be made due to the ongoing investigation of the case.
