"We talk about checking assets of cricketers, how about checking assets of PCB staff" : Rashid Latif

Rashid Latif speaking to the media today

"It appears that our boys are getting caught very frequently, whether its 2010 or even the case of Bob Woolmer's death, there is something happening there"

"Every country has an anti-corruption code and there is this thing called failure to report which seems to be the catchphrase nowadays"

"Non implementation of the Justice Qayyum's recommendations is not his fault, he did everything with sincerity"

"I don't believe in resurrecting that inquiry etc as that is not needed now"

"Sarfraz's statement about 'Halal' ways of earning in cricket much better in cricket is a good statement but I wonder who has asked him to say this?"

"The cricketers who are making statements about life-bans etc IF proven guilty should stop doing that as nothing has been proven yet"

"I was 26 when I first raised the issue of corruption, now I am 48; Easy to talk for all of you but I am the one who suffered"

"We talk about checking the assets of cricketers but how about checking the assets of the PCB employees?"

"I will be in the next PSL as I need to be there and I can only point to issues but its up to the authorities to fix problems"

*"The news about Pakistan India series has been deliberately spread to divert attention from the fixing issues"

Fair point regarding PCB officials.

I would start with an audit of the PSL accounts and where the money goes.......

 

[Varun]

Nice call. Easier said than done though I suppose.

Instead someone from PCB leaked this confidential report. I hope Umar Amin and his family are safe...

put latif in charge of a taskforce and get him to clear up this game, seems like the only person with a brain and talks sense.

 

[godzilla]

quite right. agree with Saj too on the PSL finances.

I've heard from an internal source that he doesn't know, but suspects the PSL controversy was caught by the ICC, not the PCB - the PCB have zero evidence of their own (allegedly).

Did he not talked about Khalid Latif, who came from his Academy? - I am not sure about Sharjeel, but Khalid was definitely under his wings... If these guys did not learn anything from him, there is less hope for others Or culture over there is not that much different? - This PSL controversy is stain on him as well at some level...

He did not speak about any individual involved in this case saying it's an ongoing investigation and we shall not speculate.
