Players must disclose bank accounts: Imran


Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan yesterday flayed his country's Interior Minister Rehman Malik for commenting that the government would scrutinise the World Cup semi-final game against India at Mohali tomorrow for match-fixing, but said players' bank accounts should be disclosed to stamp out the crime. "Who is Rehman Malik? I think we should watch him instead of the team. My worry is not the cricket team. It is him," Khan, who led his country to World Cup glory in 1992, said .

Malik said the government would 'closely scrutinise' the semi-final outing. "No one in the Pakistani team will even read that statement. They have much better things to do," Khan said, before adding: "If we want to stamp out match-fixing, we have to ensure that the crime must not pay. All the bank accounts of the players should be disclosed. And criminals must be punished."
