The Justice Qayyum Report — Pakistan's Match-Fixing Reckoning, May 2000

Pakistan

2000-05-23

Justice Malik Mohammad Qayyum, a Lahore High Court judge, was appointed in September 1998 to investigate match-fixing allegations against the Pakistan team. Over 13 months he heard nearly 70 witnesses including Mark Taylor, Shane Warne, Tim May, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Salim Malik. The report was completed in October 1999 but only published on May 23, 2000 — banning Salim Malik and Ata-ur-Rehman for life and fining Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Mushtaq Ahmed, Inzamam, Akram Raza and Saeed Anwar.

On December 8, 1998, the Australian Cricket Board revealed that Mark Waugh and Shane Warne had been fined in 1995 for accepting cash from an Indian bookmaker named 'John' (later identified as Mukesh Gupta) in exchange for pitch and weather information. The ACB had concealed the fines for three years. The cover-up became a bigger scandal than the original incident.
