Yasir Hameed denies sting interview

In a brazen denial of a sting video in which he was caught claiming that every match Pakistan plays is fixed, Test batsman Yasir Hameed said he had not given any interview to any British tabloid that cricketers of his country were fixing matches at random.

Yasir Hameed was captured clearly in a sting operation video by UK?s The News of the World saying ?almost every match? of Pakistan is fixed, but the player denied it brazenly on Sunday.

“I have not given any interview to the News of the World or any newspaper,” he told media in England.

?There is no truth in it,? he said.

?I have spoken to the management on this. All claims are false,? he said.

Pakistan Test batsman Yasir Hameed revealed that his team mates are cheats and have been fixing ?almost every match.?

In a sting operation conducted by The News of the World, Hameed said that he had refused bribes worth 150,000 pounds from a corrupt bookmaker to throw matches and lost his own place in the squad that saw his career damaged as a result.

Hameed?s revelations come after the British tabloid promised last week that it would come with more news on the spot-fixing scandal involving three Pakistani players, captain Salman Butt, fast bowlers Mohammed Asif and Mohammed Aamer.

Hameed also said that the Sydney Test in Australia earlier this year was rigged for 1.8 million pounds.
