"People Thought The Game Was Fixed": Ex-Pakistan Star Reveals Shocking Detail

Former Pakistan cricketer Mudassar Nazar spoke on the match-fixing cloud in cricket, saying every time his team lost a game to India, people back home used to think the match was fixed.

There was a lot of pressure on the Pakistan team because every time they lost a game, people thought the game was dubious, the game was fixed."
