The book refers to the inquiry panel formed by the Pakistan Cricket Board headed by Justice Malik Qayyum of Lahore High Court. The inquiry was formed to investigate the match-fixing allegations in 1999, and the report published in 2000 held several cricketers responsible, including Saleem Malik and Ata-ur-Rehman.
The commission, in its report on match-fixing, said, “The evidence against Wasim Akram has not come up to the requisite level, primarily because of Ata-ur-Rehman’s perjuring himself. This Commission is willing to give him the benefit of doubt. However, there has been some evidence to cast doubt on his integrity. As such, this Commission recommends that he be removed from the captaincy of the Pakistan Cricket Team and that a person of impeccable character is appointed. Moreover, he should be censured, kept under watch, and his finances should be investigated.”
The report mentioned above statements for Wasim Akram. Commission also fined Wasim Akram Rs300,000.
On the other hand, Wasim Akram will feature in Fawad Khan’s movie Money Back Guarantee. Faisal Qureshi directed the movie, which will be released in April 2023. Shainera Akram, the wife of Wasim Akram, is also part of the movie.
