Finally Aamir Sohail appeared again and produced the original affidavit sworn by Ata-ur-Rehman.

Aamir Sohail maintained that during the Singer Trophy, Saleem Pervez had also come into his room

and implied that he wanted to buy over Aamir Sohail. During the said match, a message was sent

through Zahid Fazal, the 12th man and Saeed Anwar immediately retired hurt. At the time, there

was no apparent reason for Saeed Anwar to leave the field. During the South African tour, Saeed

Anwar was not in good form and was not making runs. When asked about his poor form, he replied

that curse had come to him from God as he had been indulged in match-fixing. Aamir Sohail told

him to pray for forgiveness and pay some Kuffara.

According to Sohail, during the World Cup Quarter-Final, Wasim Akram went to a Night Club just

before the Bangalore match against India. When Aamir Sohail asked Wasim Akram about his fitness,

Wasim said he was fit to play and that he would not miss such a crucial match. Aamir Sohail

maintained that there is a team meeting before all important matches, but that no such meeting

took place for this all important quarter final.

Before the Australasia Cup Final in 1994, Aamir Sohail maintained that he received a call from

an Indian bookie who offered him Rs. 25 Lacs for getting himself out before scoring 10 runs and
also getting Saeed Anwar run out. It was during this time that it was felt necessary for all the

members of the team to take oath on the Holy Quran. Aamir Sohail maintained that the only reason

Ata-ur-Rehman and Rashid Latif had lost their place in the National team was because they had

exposed all the match fixers. Mr. Aamir Sohail maintained that during the 1994 Christ Church

match, Mr. Majid Khan was very up-set about the rumours and had banned all telephone calls going

to the players directly. This is the same match in which Ata-ur-Rehman later gave an affidavit.

Aamir Sohail maintained that match-fixing mainly takes place in Sharjah and that Saleem Pervez

had informed him that he had paid money to Salim Malik, Mushtaq Ahmad, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Waqar

Younis.

Mr. Qaiser Ali Shah, Director of the Ehtesaab Bureau appeared and made a statement that the

Bureau at the request of the Chairman of the Adhoc Committee made an investigation into the

affairs of the Pakistani Cricket Team. The Bureau was given two days to do this. There was a lot

of hearsay evidence, but no direct evidence available.

The Ehtesaab Bureau Report.

The Ehtesaab Bureau then submitted a report on match-fixing, indiscipline in the team and

mismanagement. It also included some investigation into the World Cup final performance. On the

whole the report found all allegations to be baseless and the allegations about the World Cup

possibly the outcome of an emotional trauma that the nation has gone through during the World

Cup. A brief summary of the report follows:

The Ehtesaab Bureau (EB) report compiled a list of bookies. It was as follows:
