Islamabad: National cricket team captain Babar Azam has accused senior assistant Mubasher Luqman of match-fixing in the upcoming T20 World Cup in USA.
In a recent video that went viral on social media, veteran anchor Mubasher Luqman made serious allegations against Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam.
The doctor claimed that Azam had bought an Audi E-Tron, allegedly as a gift from his brother, bought with dubious books. However, the journalist said that his brother did nothing and it came because of fixing the car game and intentionally losing against teams like USA, Holland or Ireland.
He also accused Azam of having apartments in Australia and New Zealand under suspicious circumstances.
According to media reports, the legal notice filed by Babar Azam seeks $1 billion compensation from Lukman for the allegations.

The legal team is of the opinion that the allegations about anchored game-fixing are baseless and damage his reputation.
Captain Babar Azam Mubashir opposed Lukman to prove the charges against him; if not, he must compensate.
The doctors’ allegations came after Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the US, which led to their premature exit from the tournament. The team lost to the United States and beat Ireland in a low-scoring game in New York.
According to reports, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will defam journalists and YouTubers who have accused Babar Azam of match-fixing. Once prosecuted, the journalists and YouTubers will be asked to prove their allegations and face heavy fines and prison terms if they fail to do so.
Recently, the Punjab Assembly passed a bill related to the defamation law, which states that media or journalists who attack anyone who makes false allegations or criticizes them will face fines and jail time if they do not prove their claims. . The bill also reads that work should be completed within six months, avoiding unnecessary delays.
