Rashid Latif, a former Pakistan captain, has made a stunning assertion about the national cricket squad from the 1990s. The former wicketkeeper batter, who went on to play over 200 international matches for Pakistan, stated that "match-fixing was at its peak" in the 1990s.  

Rashid played for the country from 1992 to 2003. He said that his future book will go into great depth about match-fixing. Previously, Latif has stated that players from that era should be kept out of Pakistan cricket.

"I have started writing a book. Match-fixing was at its peak in the '90s. I will expose everything - how fixing happened and who was involved. I will disclose what went on in '90s cricket and also reveal which former captain submitted a presidential pardon request,” Latif was quoted by The Current PK.

Days ago, the former skipper urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to keep the 1992 World Cup-winning team out of management. When challenged about Pakistan's inability to win ICC titles consistently, Latif made the cheeky proposal that players from the 1990s be excluded from the team, as well as the management.

Latif's comments came after criticism of the Mohammad Rizwan-led team's early exit from the Champions Trophy.

The Men in Green failed to win a single game in Group A, getting humiliated by New Zealand and India, and were knocked out in the group stage itself, in a tournament hosted by Pakistan. They finished with one point from three games as their match against Bangladesh was rained out and they shared points.

Pakistan became the defending champions with the poorest finish in tournament history. They exceeded Australia's previous record of one point and -0.680 NRR set in the 2013 Champions Trophy.

"It took 17 years [for Pakistan to win another World Cup] because the 90s players did not spare Pakistan cricket. Keep 90s players away from management and the team as well then they will try to win. Even I am from the 90s. They have been serving Pakistan cricket for so long now. So, I think, they should rest now," Latif had said on the Geo News show 'Harna Mana Hai'.
