Former captain Ramiz Raja said on Sunday Pakistan have the talent to ride out a spot-fixing scandal engulfing the national game.
“For me credibility and integrity are the main issues and there is a need to draw a line between whether we want suspicious players or we just want talented players,” Raja, also a member of the International Cricket Council’s Pakistan task team, told AFP.
Pakistan cricket’s image took a devastating knock when Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were provisionally suspended by the
ICC on charges of spot-fixing during team’s Lord’s Test against England in August.
“Pakistan has enough talent to overcome the jolts (of the players’ suspension) and I would say that captain Shahid Afridi must avail the available talent in the team for next year’s World Cup,” said Raja. |
