Karachi, October 07: National coach Intikhab Alam accused the Indian media of triggering and fanning the match-fixing debate here and said the Pakistan Cricket Board should decide whether there is any need to restore cricketing ties with a neighbour which is “hell bent” on damaging them.
“The Indian media should be ashamed of itself for creating these stories about our team being involved in match-fixing in the Champions Trophy,” a furious Alam said in an interview.
“All this stuff about our team being involved in match-fixing started because of a report in some Indian newspapers and since then they have carried out a relentless campaign to defame us,” he said.
