Lately, there have been match-fixing allegations surrounding Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). 

There has been a barrage of observations on social media surrounding Malik, who is playing for Fortune Barishal, after he overstepped three times during the second match against Khulna Tigers. As a result of Malik's three no balls, the opposition were benefitted with 18 runs.

In light of all the allegations, Malik has now issued a statement clearing the air around the allegations.

“I would like to address and dismiss the recent rumors circulating about my playing position with Fortune Barishal. I had a thorough discussion with our captain, Tamim Iqbal, and we mutually planned the way forward. I had to leave Bangladesh for a pre-committed media engagement in Dubai,” he wrote on X.

“I extend my best wishes to Fortune Barishal for their upcoming matches, and if needed, I am available to support them if needs be.

“I have always found joy in playing the game and will continue to do so.

“I want to emphasize the importance of exercising caution when it comes to rumors, especially those circulating recently. I want to make it clear that I strongly refute these baseless rumors. It’s crucial for everyone to verify information before believing and spreading it.

“Falsehoods can harm reputations and create unnecessary confusion. Let’s prioritize accuracy and rely on credible sources to ensure a clear understanding of the facts. Thank you for your understanding and diligence.

“Thank you for your love & support as always.”
