KARACHI, (Reuters) – The Pakistan Cricket Board has asked former South Africa coach Mickey Arthur to back up reported comments that he suspected a one-day international against Pakistan in 2007 was fixed. Arthur, in an interview with South African website News24 last week, there were “strong suspicions” of match-fixing when Pakistan collapsed dramatically to lose the fifth and decisive ODI against South Africa in Lahore three years ago. “There was a strong suspicion of match-fixing and it took some of the gloss off the series win,” Arthur said according to News24.
The PCB said in a statement yesterday that it had “served a legal notice on Mickey Arthur asking him to share with PCB any evidence in this regard.”
