With all this fixing saga going on and one player after another being mentioned of being involved with bookies, let's take a minute here to appreciate how Ahmed Shehzad has never been involved in such activities despite all his flaws.
He is one of the most famous players in Pakistan cricket. Among fans, among haters, obsessed cricket fans, occasional cricket fans and even the media. He would be a good target for bookies but he's always maintained free of all such allegations.
I'm not trying to portray him as some angel or praising him for not committing a crime but the truth is, I'm sure he's had man opportunities and offers from bookies because he's obviously been a very good player in the last PSL and even BPL but the fact that he was mature enough to deny all offers is commendable.
Compared to Shehzad, Sharjeel comes from a financially secure background yet he was not able to control himself while Shehzad was someone who lived off a shoestring until a few years ago.
