Pakistani fast bowler Aaqib Javed is remembered for his hat-trick against India in 1991 which was part of his then-world record ODI bowling figures 7/37 and then for being part of Pakistan’s 1992 World Cup-winning team.

Recently, the country has seen a new wave of former cricketers coming out and revealing their trysts with match-fixing. Javed has also joined the bandwagon and actually revealed the player who had asked him to fix matches.

"Have been suffering with injustice for long", Salim Malik calls wrong allegations on his integrity

“Lavish cars and millions of rupees were handed over to a cricketer. I was also asked to fix matches and was told that if I did not comply, my career would be finished. Players were approached with match-fixing offers through a former cricketer named Saleem Pervez,” Javed was quoted as saying in a local news channel, reported by Cricket Pakistan.

Javed also said that not being part of the group that fixed matches resulted in the end of his career. He played 22 Tests and 163 ODIs from 1988-1998 for Pakistan.

“When I came to know about fixing, I took a strong stance and stood by it. I don’t regret the fact that it shortened my career as I strongly believe in my values. People tried to sideline me from tours because of my stance and would also reprimand those people who would talk to me,” Javed said.
