OWN CORRESPONDENT, Karachi | Monday 10.30am.
FORMER Pakistan cricket captain Rashid Latif says fired SA skipper Hansie Cronje did not reveal all in his testimony last week before the King Commission into match fixing.
“Cronje’s confession was not full, because he has hidden some names.
“He should have named Australian players who are also involved,” Latif said.
He said he would be willing to give a written statement on the issue should the King Commission ask him.
“It will be an honour for me, because if I can help eradicate the malice from cricket, I will leave nothing to chance,” Latif said. Reports from South Africa suggested Latif and Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin may be called by the King Commission to testify.
The 30-year-old Latif led a crusade against match-fixing in Pakistan, alleging involvement of team mates.
“For me match-fixing in Pakistan is history and players have been punished.
“I am satisfied, but it’s now the turn of other countries to take the matter seriously,” he said. — AFP
