Former Pakistan captain and tainted cricketer Salim Malik has been given a questionnaire from PCB’s anti-corruption unit pertaining to his meetings with some people in London in 2011.

Malik was banned in 2000 by a judicial commission for match-fixing but was cleared by a sessions court in 2008, had launched a campaign to force the Pakistan Cricket Board to give him clearance to get back to cricket activities.

“I have sent the questionnaire to my lawyers and I am going to answer each and each question honestly. I have had enough of keeping quiet. I will now write down the truth," the 57-year-old said.

"Others named in the same report have gone on to get big positions in cricket and are working. I have been struggling for the past 20 years to get permission to get involved in coaching. Why is it like this when my ban has been lifted," he said, mentioning that he was made a scapegoat.

Malik, who played 103 Tests and over 200 ODIs, wants PCB’s clearances for the sake of his son, who is a talented cricketer. "They didn't select him for junior-level saying he was overage which is not right. But I want my son to play on merit. If he is good he should get his chances,” he signed off.
