Wasim Akram's nomination for Tagha-i-Imtiaz is highly controversial. He has been involved in match fixing all his life. His father in law was abducted by bookies after he failed to throw the match once. It is well known fact. World cup 1996 match etc.....
His name is included in Justice Qayyum report for match fixing as well. He is lucky not to be in jail:
In the report Justice Qayyum said, "The evidence against Wasim Akram has not come up to the requisite level, primarily because of Ata-ur-Rehman's perjuring himself. This Commission is willing to give him the benefit of doubt. However, there has been some evidence to cast doubt on his integrity. As such, this Commission recommends that he be removed from the captaincy of the Pakistan Cricket Team and a person of impeccable character be appointed. Moreover, he should be censured, kept under watch and his finances should be investigated."
In 2006 Justice Qayyum told ESPNcricinfo that "a soft corner" for Akram might have influenced him in the punishment he handed out. That would imply, however, that Akram got off lightly rather than that there was no basis to the charges, as the PCB now seems to be suggesting
What will be next Salman Butt and Salim Malik also getting Tamgha-i-Imtiaz? Really low performance by PTI
