Former Pakistan cricket team Shahid Afridi has accepted that he tampered the Faisalabad pitch during a Test match against England in 2005.
Afridi, who was well known for his big-hitting as well as spin bowling, said that he was frustrated with the pitch which led to the action.
He also added that ex-Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik knew and encouraged him in the plan. "The Test match was in Faisalabad. The ball was not turning, swinging, seaming.
I was applying my full force and nothing was happening. Then suddenly, a gas cylinder exploded and everyone got distracted. I told Malik (Shoaib Malik).'Mera dil chaah raha hai main idhar patch bana du.
