Waqar refutes charges

Former captain Waqar Younis has lashed out at allegations of ICC’s anti-corruption unit that the Pakistan team could have under-performed in one-day tournaments in Morocco and Kenya in 2001. Waqar said as the skipper he could vouch that the team had not performed up to expectations in Morocco and Kenya entirely because of cricketing reasons. “We just did not play well and we lost quite a few close matches,” he was quoted as saying. “Whenever the team loses a few matches on a trot or an important series is coming up, you hear and read about such allegations.So this is nothing new for me.”
