Cricket pays well so why should we fix matches: Younus Khan


Pakistan captain Younus Khan rejected allegations from a former cricketer that some of his teammates could be involved in match-fixing.
"If one gets up to Rs 900,000 for a single match, then why would he want to earn money through illegal means?" he asked.

Younus added if former players kept making such accusations against the players, no one would bother to come forward in future.

Former Pakistan Test spinner Abdul Qadir alleged that there could be some match-fixers in the Pakistan team. "A player will think who cares. If we inform the management we are still accused of match fixing and if we don't we are still under suspicion," Younus said.

"I am just an intermediate but I am earning a lot from cricket. So why should I bother to get involved in corruption. Cricket is paying well now," he added.
