    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Pakistan's High Commissioner to the UK, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, and members of team management have reportedly called an emergency meeting in London following fresh revelations made by a British tabloid.

    British tabloid News of The World reported that batsman Yasir Hameed had "sensationally confirmed" its report that some Pakistan players had accepted money to fix aspects of the fourth Test match against England in London.

    The tabloid said Hameed had told one of its reporters in a bar in Nottingham, central England, that some Pakistan players were fixing "almost every match".

    "They've been caught. Only the ones that get caught are branded crooks. They were doing it (fixing) in almost every match. God knows what they were up to. Scotland Yard was after them for ages," News of The World quoted Hameed, as saying.

    "It makes me angry because I'm playing my best and they are trying to lose," the 32-year-old added.

    The Pakistan team is currently embroiled in a 'spot-fixing' scandal, following which the International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended Test captain Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif. (ANI)
