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.
