Scandals of Pakistani Cricketers 1

All of them have a Common Dak Khana- Cricket for Crime & drugs[h=1]Dark side of some brilliant Pak cricketers[/h]

LAHORE: Although the Pakistan Cricket Board has reportedly questioned Chief Selector Moin Khan for being spotted at a Christchurch casino joint before the match against West Indies, he is likely to get away with this rather serious immoral act, as did former batsman Ijaz Ahmed, who had spent the night before June 20, 1999 World Cup final at a London gambling joint and was bowled out by Shane Warne for just 22 the next day, writes Sabir Shah.
By the way, in January 2007, country’s former captain Moin Khan was arrested by Karachi Clifton police for beating up his wife, Tasneem Khan. Moin, who played 69 Tests and 219 one-day internationals for Pakistan, was freed on bail after submitting a surety bond.
He was produced before a court and released on a guarantee that he would not repeat the act. (Reference: The January 17, 2007 reports of ESPN Cricinfo and Daily Jang)
As far as cricketer Ijaz Ahmed is concerned, this former member of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s national selection committee and an ex- fielding coach at the National Cricket Academy was arrested by Gulberg Lahore police in March 2009 for issuing Rs11 million cheques that had later bounced.
Having played 60 Test matches and 250 one-day internationals for Pakistan, Ijaz had to spend six weeks in jail before being released on bail. On October 22, 2012, a Lahore court had even charged Ijaz for forgery on a petition filed by two property dealers in the same case.
(March 26, 2009 reports of the Associated Press, ESPN Cricinfo) and Daily Dawn)But, Moin Khan and Ijaz Ahmed are not the only players to have won lucrative PCB jobs after retirement, despite their shady past lives.
On the eve of the first test match between Pakistan and the West Indies during Pakistan’s tour of 1993, Wasim Akram,Waqar Younis, Mustaq Ahmed and Aqib Javed—-country’s bowling cream— was held up by the Grenada police at a beach.
They were caught with rum, marijuana and two suspicious looking females. The police had held them on charges of marijuana possession and the four had to spend a night in jail as the first Test was pushed ahead by a day. 
The incident was widely reported by the West Indian, Pakistani, Indian, British, South African and Australian media outlets.
