The former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Wasim Akram, has released a frank autobiography in which he disparages a number of teammates.
Details indicate that former batter and wicketkeeper Rashid Latif manufactured the allegations about him being fixed in order to obtain fame, as Wasim Akram stated in his autobiography.
He claimed that Rashid Latif was a specialist at lobbying and that if his accusations were true, he would have brought them up right away with the appropriate authorities.
Rashid Latif also revealed to a British news outlet in July 2000 that the Pakistan cricket squad had received a $15,000 offer to finish the 1996 Lord’s Test with less than 300 runs. Rashid Latif might have told him or the team’s management, according to Wasim Akram, but instead he told Justice Qayyum about the event.
Rashid Latif allegedly used to make up similar tales whenever he sought attention, according to Wasim Akram, who made this allegation in his autobiography.
The former pacer claimed that he was nominated for the DMC Trophy captaincy in Toronto and that, as a result of lobbying by the coach, Wasim Raja, and new selectors Ramiz Raja, Naushad Ali, and Abdur Raqib, he was replaced by an intimidating individual named Aamir Sohail on the grounds that they had lost the 1996 and 1999 World Cups.
