Asif ex-girlfriend gives match-fixing evidence



The former girlfriend of Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif has met International Cricket Council officials investigating match fixing, after commenting on her suspicions of Asif's behavior.

Actress Veena Malik's manager Sohail Rashid on Thursday said she met ICC anti-corruption officials on Wednesday evening.

Ms Malik had told Associated Press Television News that an Indian man frequently called and sent text messages to Asif, which she found suspicious.

Asif and fellow fast bowler Mohammad Amir are at the center of a match fixing controversy. Both were implicated in an alleged plan to deliberately bowl no-balls during the fourth test against England at Lord's.
