"Afridi supposedly had a close relationship to Mazhar Majeed" Salman Butts Father

[w8in_4_0402]

says Butt Father

he said that Afridi was very close to him and when ever he used to come over to england with his family he used to stay at Mazhar Majeeds house.

Strong accusations there buy Butt Sr.

cVpmZPtVW0o

Start from 3:00 onwards he mentions Afridi

[Free Hit]

yes might be true but mazhar might have tried different ways to trap him but couldnt and after desp he might have said it in clear words hence 'chal nikkal' warning and slap on his face really by afridi.

[Sledger]

You wouldn't guess it having read Mazhar's old tweets lol.

[*sallu*]

One thing clear from this whole mess is, that, despite Afridi having all his faults (and yes he has plenty) he is completely clean of this fixing business

[w8in_4_0402]

You wouldn't guess it having read Mazhar's old tweets lol.

lol im not on twitter so nope don't know about it.

But hasn't Afridi pictured it the way that he doesn't even now mazhar?

[Prince of Pakistan]

Old news. Mazhar said he tried hard but Afridi was difficult and he got tired, annoyed of Afridi.

[Watsupdoc]

Butt's father still thinks :butt is innocent :facepalm:

[w8in_4_0402]

You wouldn't guess it having read Mazhar's old tweets lol.

lol yeh jus read em seemed to be quite close lmaooo

Looks like Zain on PP is him undercover lol,

will find out soon if it was if he posts again soon since Mazhar is in jail,

[JellyBro]

God this family is becoming the butt of all jokes. Apparently Butt also had a close relationship with Majeed (anyone remember the pic where he's dricing Majeed's Austin Martin?). Yet his son is a masoom bacha since he sweared to God..:facepalm:

[zaid65]

But hasn't Afridi pictured it the way that he doesn't even now mazhar?

Other interesting thing to note, for Majeed, Afridi should be the number one enemy but all his statements saying Afridi could not fall in his trap, actually helped and favored Afridi.

Sounds like an Indian movie to me where big boss is still out there :)

He simply does not like Afridi. Only he knows why. Look at his twitter rants against Afridi and the comments he made to the undercover journalist. If Afridi was involved before or now he would have mentioned it considering how many claims he made.

I don't think Afridi has ever denied knowing Mazhar Majeed. I remember reading somewhere that he used to be Afridi's agent or was that Azhar Majeed?

I was watching Aaj Kamran Khan ke Saath tonight and Majid Bhatti was on the show. He said that Afridi held a meeting with Yawar Saeed, one more guy think the Tour manager and the vice captain who was Salman Butt. In this meeting Afridi warned quite sternly that the players are meeting with Azhar and Mazhar and going for meals with them etc. He told them to keep the players away from them! This was before the whole thing blew up.

Majid Bhatti says that after this he started looking into Mazhar and Azhar after being told by a source (I am almost 100% sure it was Afridi).

Basically, Afridi is not involved in connection with Majeed. No way.:junaid

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

Found video for the show.

Go to 4:23 for Majid Bhatti part.

No way on earth you can say that about any cricketer. You have no way of knowing. Just because a player is not in on one crew's work.....

[PakPrince]

^
No I can say with 100% confidence that despite their numerous other faults neither Shahid Afridi or Shoaib Akhtar have been involved in fixing ever..

i was reading this only a little while ago:

He was asked to explain how his then newspaper, The News, had in a report predicted that Pakistan - then a favourite - may lose to minnows Bangladesh more than 20 days before the match.

Pakistan actually lost to Bangladesh, who were subsequently awarded Test status by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Mr Mehmood is not willing to share details, but he alleges this and many other decisions were taken at a meeting of a number of senior players in the World Cup squad weeks ahead of the tournament to draw up the team's strategy.

"All junior players at the time - such as Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi - were sitting outside, sulking, while the representative of a known underworld don who was blamed for the 1993 bombings in Mumbai, was inside, in the meeting," he says.

[Random Aussie]

No that is what you think. Not what you "know".

I think Steve Waugh did not fix matches. I do not know this for a fact.

[saeed-sohail]

RA Afridi is clean. Dont argue with US.

Seriously? They have faults but apart from a few youngstas (most of whom aren't in the side) nobody is even remotely implicated. I know you hate Afridi but what about a long long list starting with Misbah, Gul, Ajmal, Abdul Razzaq and Abdur Rehman, Mohammad Hafeez, Cheema, Junaid, etc as well as Younus.

Only Allah knows if they are completely clean but I'm willing to give benefit of whatever doubt there is

I just expressed my opinion, you can go ahead and choose Afridi as a mosque's Imam, I care the less.

I don't mind you slating Afridi, you can have your opinion bhai. Not right to be bandying hints about the Net with no proof, however staggeringly the bulk of your 4530 posts tend to veer in that direction.

It's also hilarious how inept you are at sarcasm or wit.

First of all I did not make any allegations to anybody, I just described a situation or circumstances.

[Afridirocks]

well afridi said himself mazhar majeed was his agent but once he knew about his suspicious activities he removed him as his agents

butt father is doing cheap acts to gain sympathy for his son but sadly nothings going to help him

[Usman]

Usman as Zaid65:

This revelation from Butt's farther explains everything. We all know Afridi's style is to slog and get out. Yet in 2009, he played sensibly in the semis and the final of the t20 wc and won us both games. It's a fix!!!

[ballyho]

Wanna just add that if it ever comes out that Afridi was/is involved in fixing, it would be as disappointing to me as it would if it came out that Sachin was a fixer. Still remember the Hansie Cronje fixing day and the when the news just broke there were some phone transcripts released by the police in which Sachin's name was hinted as being mentioned in conversations between a bookie and one of the players (think it was Azhar). It was the single most devastating moment of my life and I skipped school and hung around at home watching TV for further news. Turned out that full conversation was about 3 runouts that were scheduled to take place in the game. And Sachin was one of them - run out by one of the fixers. Think it was in the Singer Trophy and the then Indian coach (Anshuman Gaekwad) was caught ina sting operation by Tehelka where he mentioned that game and said Sachin after being run out came up to him emotionally and said - they did this today, but don't worry I'll make sure we win the next few game. Scored a couple of blazing hundreds to eventually win the trophy.

Think I made that a little Bollywoodish but am a little emotional right now about this whole mess.

Also, isn't it amazing how these damn Indian posters keep derailing threads and converting them into Sachin threads. haha. Started it off with wanting to make a comparison of how much it would hurt, but then decided to explain the incident before some moron starts speculating about why Sachin's name was mentioned in a conversation at the time.

[Random Aussie]

No doubt US would have argued the same about Amir prior to flying to England.....I am not arguing I am pointing out there is no factual basis for the statement, only guesses.

[Ryankhan]

I think afridi is clean aswell and he is a hard worker and but family cant bear the pain so they are saying all sorts of things which is sad to see. they should just accept it....

[Pakistani tigers]

Sir-your son is a traitor...accept it!

[Pakistani tigers]

"purrhi liki ha burri masoon hai!" hahah! Mr. Butt we know where your son gets his charm!

[kumaqal]

every father thinks that his child is innocent. as far as afridi is concerned don't seems to be involed in match fixing. But my 2 cent opinion is that some player from this team or the past one involed to give evidences and prove against these players, either for his own profit or taking any revenge.

[miandadrules]

Well, I don't think Afridi is involved now but I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in the late 90's early 2000's. There were a lot of shady things going on back then. Afridi was named in the Qayyum report and also he was and still is very close to to Wasim Akram.

Now, I mention Akram because a number of players have insinuated that he was involved, most recently Shoaib Akhtar, yet Afridi has never spoken about having any suspicions during that time. How could he have not known either way?

Now, a lot of people have commented that Waqar and fellow players must have known what was going on, but then so must have Afridi. He must have known what was going on during those dodgy games in Toronto and Sharjah, as well as the more recent games involving Butt and Majeed.

Why is he so loyal to Akram?

If Afridi knew about Majeed and Butt why didn't he notify anyone? Please don't say he brought it up in a meeting. Something of this gravity would need more than passing a comment at a meeting. Even if he did make an effort, did he just forget about it when Majeed continued his presence?

Why did Afridi endorse Butt's captaincy?

[Hamxa89]

I knew he would take a dig at Afridi :))) We all saw how Salman Butt's views about Afridi changed when all this fiasco started.. Despite all the hatred for Afridi, for various reason, you can't drag him into this mess Mr. Butt .. This is one thing which people unanimously agree to, that Afridi is certainly clean.
We understand how he feels but he is taking on a bit too much over here

[Free Hit]

OMG...zaid and saeed sohail, you people finding way to make afridi the culprit as well.

go to sleep.

[the Great Khan]

as far as we know with the information we have Afridi is clean and this is from the horses mouth. For that matter ajmal is a fixer too since mazhar mentioned him too. Lets stop this ridiculous nonsense..where are the Mods?

[mastermind_quad]

close relationship...:20: :13:....uh! hun.....;-)

[Sultan Yusuf]

There is a simple reason why Mazhar hates afridi - because it was allegedly afridi who tipped off either NOTW or Met Police. It's the worst kept secret in this whole trial.

What's interesting is - if there are 2 rackets in the team as has been alleged, is afridi's tip off something more sinister than simply wanting to eradicate match-fixing?

[AmmarAshraf]

Miandad and Daud Ibrahim are relatives (Samdhi(s)). But this doesn't mean that Miandad is terrorist or he is involved in terrorist activities.

[AZ]

^ exactly.

obviously Majeed was in the cricketing circles, does not mean everyone he ever spoke to or dealt with was a corrupt cricketer.

useless suppositions.

[mate1]

And so is Shoaib Akhtar

I also suggested that it could have been a rival group who provided the tip-off. However, I find it hard to believe that it was Afridi. Even his fans admit that he isn't the sharpest tool in the box and there is no way he has the intelligence or nous to even pull this off and maintain anonymity. The man is so self-centred he'd probably have it printed on every shirt he owned.

There hasn't been the slightest suggestion by anyone in authority or with any insight in to this case that Afridi was the informant. This is simply a fallacy that is being perpetuated by young fans of his, in a futile attempt to increase his standing. His fans constantly try attributing many things that cannot be substantiated to him; something that anyone who scrolls through the threads on PP will see. In fact, I would love to see a list of what Afridi has actually achieved in his life and career against what his fans claim he has achieved. The discrepancy should be quite marked.

To all those who say Afridi is clean based on what Majeed said, ask yourself this. If Afridi was part of a rival group, why would Majeed tell a potential investor that he could make deals with others? Best way to keep the investor would be to tell them there are no other options.

[zaid65]

Miandad and Daud Ibrahim are relatives (Samdhi(s)). But this doesn't mean that Miandad is terrorist or he is involved in terrorist activities.

It does not make Miandad as a terrorist but creates shades on his character to become involved in relationship with this kind of person.

Another top thought provoking post, but I have a feeling only few people can understand this post.

[PakiPardesi]

Close relationship? Ahem Ahem..

[zaid65]

For all those who are happy that Afridi did not make contact or was rude to Majeed, need to correct the record, it was Majeed who was his agent in 2005 and it was Majeed who was able to got Afridi's contract with Ireland to play for few months.

[Zaz]

Who knows how many players are involved in this dirty business. Im sure what has been revealed so far is just the beginning

Watch this space

[Cricket_MN]

Understand that Sr.Butt is little desperate but trying to accuse another player is not going to help his son.

If there is any player who is clean (of match fixing) then it has to be Afridi along with Yunis Khan.

[zaid65]

You are absolutely right, this is just a beginning and we will see more names and more "imaandaar players" get exposed.

[sam]

You are absolutely right, this is just a beginning and we will see more names and more "imaandaar players" get exposed.

You are convinced Afridi is involved. Oh well.

Anyway, which other ones do you think are supposedly imaandaar and all set to get exposed?

[1137moiz]

Thing is that legally nobody is above suspicion. But why suspect them in the first place? Because a rabble of not fully established players have also been named with the trio as corrupt? That still leaves over 3 quarters of the touring squad as well as the non touring Pakistanis unaccounted for. Absolutely no need to be bombarding anybody with uninformed conjecture

[KingKhanWC]

Silly debate when Mazher Majeed effectively said Afridi has no part in fixing.

[zaid65]

You are convinced Afridi is involved. Oh well.

Anyway, which other ones do you think are supposedly imaandaar and all set to get exposed?

No I did not say he is involved, but I am not going to accept he is not involved either or he is saint or angel.

Knowing his past or current behavior and his greed for money, it is hard to accept he would say no to money, especially he was very close to Majeeds and he is close friend of Waseem Akram, how come people can say there is no way, he could be involved.

Like I said earlier, the only person I can swear, is Younis Khan, rest I would not not say anything or change the phrase " guilty until proven innocent".

[Hamxa89]

You are absolutely right, this is just a beginning and we will see more names and more "imaandaar players" get exposed.

Awww, you'd love that, wouldn't you :) ? Keep dreamin' kid! This ain't gonna happen :)))

[SAF]

Silly allegations. Its stuff like this (first from Butt and now his dad) that make me feel less sympathetic towards them.

btw, why does Butt (and apparently his dad) hate Afridi so much?

[miandadrules]

Probably because he has the highest profile, so to implicate him would mean it could be anyone. His dad is just getting desperate.

[akhtar]

The whole Butt khandan (mum,sisters, dad) are just getting into a bigger mess, its obvious from there statements that salman is innocent however scotland yard are regarded as one of the finest police force in the world phone records, serial numbers on bank notes are substantial evidence. just admit it that your son is a traitor

[gameovais]

Will someone just put some tape on all these idiots?

Afridi, Butt's stupid sister, Butt's over emotional dad, Asif's oblivious father etc etc, can they all be taped up?

It's really pathetic that they're so petty.

Of them all it's Butt's sister who's been the worst so far by coming out and saying "show us the evidence", guess what you silly girl, the evidence was shown in court and that's the reason why he's in prison, not because the Jury had a personal agenda against him.

[Masterji]

I think its time for the PCB to find a retired SC judge and have a truth commission where players could confess to crimes (in private) and start with a clean slate. My fear is that if we don`t we will have players being blackmailed into doing things. Another scandal like this, and not only are we not going to be playing at home, we won`t be playing at all. We are a not a big draw on the international stage and teams don`t get big tv rev by playing us, so another scandal could be be fatal.

[DM123]

It was quiet obvious why Butt's father is trying to implicate Afridi. It was Afridi who first created a ruckus in the team over the association of the players with the Majeed.

Now, we don't know whether he did it for his country's sake or to settle any score with Majeed/Butt.


But the fact is that PCB officials as well as the cricket journalists in Pakistan got a inkling of the culprits. There was a even a report about it in Jung newspaper at that time and the Jung reporter has claimed that after he wrote the article, he got call from Azhar Majeed, brother of Majeed, threatening to sue him for defamation.

Who knows may be NOTW got the clue from Jung report? It hardly seems that Afridi himself tipped of NOTW.

As far the connection is concerned, it proves nothing yet - Majhar majeed or the likes of him first get very close with the players and then they offer the deal. Even shoaib has said in his book that these guys are very friendly with the players and officials.

[Eagle_Eye]

Pappa Butt is a credible witness? He should focus hard on a dignified silence.......

[shoaib malik fans]

Pappa Butt is a credible witness? He should focus hard on a dignified silence.......

if you can trust mazhar majeed than why not others.it is true afridi had some close relations with mazhar' bro azahar but it does not mean he is dirty

[Mo.]

You wouldn't guess it having read Mazhar's old tweets lol.

which tweets are these? link?

[style_guru]

I do not like accusing players of something based on rumours.

Having said that, I wonder if anyone would risk involving SK Afridi in any kind of fixing given his chronic nature of back tracking, brain farts etc. It's very difficult to trust this man. He may take money for fixing a match scheduled the next day, and may retire that very evening:afridi

Back to Bomb shelter:runaway:

[Looney]

the whole family wants to lose respect it seems ?

[Stanman]

I think the whole Salman Butt family is deluded, must be something about the Butt name, perhaps should outlaw in Pak.

I don't know what planet his sisters have been on but they STILL believe he is innocent. Fat chance of it happening but really would have liked for the authorities in PAK to start confiscating property ala UK proceeds of crime legislation, but than I suppose Zardari et el would be living on the streets.

[DOOSRA95]

After all this drama, these individuals will try to get any one names dirty like their own because they are selfish. I'm fan of no individual player but team Pakistan.

[tanvy]

On multiple occasions, I had the chance to closely watch and interact with Pakistan team under Wasim during 1998-99 period. One thing that stood out was how much influence the captain had over the junior team members, specifically Afridi and Saqi. They looked totally awed by the charismatic leader following him like ducklings both on and off the field. With some incidents still fresh in my mind, including some not so pleasant ones specifically for a fellow Muslim, I wonder it must have been extremely hard for these young fellows not to follow into the steps of skipper in his murkier dealings, provided Wasim was that master mind match fixer as being projected on these forums. Not trying to connect the dots in retrospection, but these two names were the first to pop up in my mind when the news about Wasim’s involvement erupted first. I am glad though that enquiry didn’t find anything against them later.

Let me tell you upfront, Shoaib was a different beast even then; complete tool but a very independent one. He never looked gullible or easily impressionable even at that early stage.

A root and branch review and action is required - with no "soft corners".

I think its time for the PCB to find a retired SC judge and have a truth commission where players could confess to crimes (in private) and start with a clean slate. My fear is that if we don`t we will have players being blackmailed into doing things. Another scandal like this, and not only are we not going to be playing at home, we won`t be playing at all. We are a not a big draw on the international stage and teams don`t get big tv rev by playing us, so another scandal could be be fatal.

I dont know how old you guys are or do not know the culture of the country or live your life in a shell, for those who are expecting a complete inquiry of cricket and its corruption in the country, do you really think is possible?

Don't you think first they need to sort out far important other issues of daily life which has been affected due to corruption and cricket is the last on the list.

In other words, if we would be able to put our country in order, cricket will be fine. But you all guys support corrupt rulers and dictators and expect cricket to be clean.

Well, I don't think Afridi is involved now but I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in the late 90's early 2000's. There were a lot of shady things going on back then. Afridi was named in the Qayyum report and also he was and still is very close to to Wasim Akram.

Now, I mention Akram because a number of players have insinuated that he was involved, most recently Shoaib Akhtar, yet Afridi has never spoken about having any suspicions during that time. How could he have not known either way?

Now, a lot of people have commented that Waqar and fellow players must have known what was going on, but then so must have Afridi. He must have known what was going on during those dodgy games in Toronto and Sharjah, as well as the more recent games involving Butt and Majeed.

Why is he so loyal to Akram?

If Afridi knew about Majeed and Butt why didn't he notify anyone? Please don't say he brought it up in a meeting. Something of this gravity would need more than passing a comment at a meeting. Even if he did make an effort, did he just forget about it when Majeed continued his presence?

Why did Afridi endorse Butt's captaincy?

These agents are just tools in the hands of the betting mafia!

Even shoaib akhtar has told in his autobiography that when someone left a bag full of money before his room, he immediately reported it to the manager. But he did not inform ICC because he had to think of his own life too. He could not have gone into full-fledged war with the betting mafias.

Akhtar also said that when the bookies offered him deals they told him that half of the team is fixing matches.

As far as Afridi-Wakram relationship is concerned, it was Akram who gave Afridi the chance in national team even when he did not have much domestic experience.

Just because he had good relation with Akram does not mean he is involved with the match fixing. It is possible for Afridi to follow Akram's footsteps, but at the same time, it is possible that he did not do any fixing.

As far as endorsing Butt is concerned, I have again read in reports that he wanted Moyo to take up captaincy after him but Moyo refused. Did Afridi tell that he had endorsed Butt?Weird

As far as knowledge about others is concerned, then I suppose half of the pakistan team used to fix matches and the rest half did have a clue of what is happening. So, did anyone report to ICC or became a whistle blower except rashid latif?

@zaid65 - so now you are saying that Afridi is the big boss?! :) interesting, because in your earlier posts, you have only mentioned about his dancing on pitch, ball biting, arrogance etc etc. but never have given any suspicion about Afridi fixing matches.

Hehe, I think even you know what Afridi has done or not done. :) The kind of hatred you have for him and the level of information you have gathered even about his personal life, it's impossible that you have not tried to find any criminal activity by him. thik bol rahi hu na zaid bhai? :D

Btw, what did afridi do to you when you traveled with Pakistan team that you hate him so much? - http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?t=139215 ? :D


If arrogance is the issue, then he is not the only one... there are many more spoilt brats in the team... if playing bad shots is the issue, then there are other players who have shown brain farts including your favorite Umar Akmal, if dancing on the pitch and biting ball is the issue, your Umar Akmal whom you have claimed to be "bright spot of Pakistan cricket." (http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?t=129740) had attitude issue, has been accused of harrassing other team mates and cheated the whole team with fake injury for sake of his brother :P
