Yes. Twice. An Indian approached me during a Test match in England and offered me 20,000 pounds (Rs 12 lakh) to not allow Pakistan's total to cross 300. Pakistan were 290 for nine overnight. I was in with Ata-ur Rehman. It was a small thing to do. But I told Wasim Akram and the manager about it. Now, I think I shouldn't have told Wasim. Anyway, I was determined to cross 300. We went on to score 350.
Do you have anything on the Indian players?
I knew a lot of things. I have the minutes of a Pakistan Cricket Board meeting which mentions the bookies involved in the whole thing—Dawood Ibrahim, Mukesh (Delhi), Rahul bhai (Mumbai). Kapil Dev was the biggest gambler of all.
What about this hot tape that you have which implicates Saeed Anwar, Malik and a whole lot of other players?
Agar woh de diya to sara kissa hi khatam ho jayega (if I disclose it, then the whole issue will be scuttled). I am trying to elicit information from them. I can't give that. (Younus intervenes: "The thing is that Rashid has played cricket with some of these players since his childhood. Basically, they are telling him to shut up, not to say anything about it. Chup raho.")
How much do players make for each match?
For one match all of them combined could get Rs 3-4 crore. They take money in cash after the result. I have seen cash being exchanged in hotels, houses.Hamne bhi chape mare hain (even I have conducted raids). Only, I didn't have a video camera.
