![]() | Malik wants Condon meeting ![]() Malik: "I'll go the full distance to get my name cleared" Disgraced former Pakistan captain Salim Malik says he is willing to meet match-fixing investigators in an attempt to prove his innocence. Sir Paul Condon, head of the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption unit, is to arrive in Lahore on 25 May for a three-day visit. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Condon, former head of London's Metropolitan Police, had not asked to meet any players. But Malik, who played 386 first-class matches for Pakistan before being banned last Spring as a result of a three-year inquiry, says he is prepared to submit for further questioning.
"I will go the full distance to get my name cleared. I would be more than pleased to meet ICC investigators if asked to by the board," he said. Malik and former Test fast bowler Ata-ur-Rehman were handed life bans by the PCB last year. The punishments were made on the recommendation of Justice Malik Mohammad Qayyum, who investigated charges of corruption in Pakistani cricket. "If Condon wants to meet any player or someone who assisted Justice Qayyum in the Pakistan inquiry, we would be pleased to arrange a meeting." said a PCB spokesman. "But so far, we have not received any request from the ICC." Six other Pakistan test players were censured and fined by Qayyum. Five of them, including Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saeed Anwar and Mushtaq Ahmed, are currently touring England with the Pakistan team. | Who's whoSport Online's guide to the Pakistan squad
