The ex-girlfriend of Pakistan cricketer Mohammed Asif has said he told her the Pakistani team would not win a single match on its Australian tour last year.
Model-actress Veena Malik has told Pakistan's Express News Network that Asif said in a phone call that Pakistan planned to throw the Test series in Australia but did not admit to being involved.
"When Pakistan started losing in Australia, I jokingly said 'for God's sake, win a match.' To this, he replied 'we won't win anything until 2010'," she told the Express News Network.

She also alledged that Asif made a visit to bookmakers in Bangkok prior to leaving for Australia in December.
"One day, he got business-class tickets and went to Bangkok," she said to Express News .
"He told me that he was offered $40,000. I advised him not to be part of such activities but he did not listen. Instead, he went ahead and demanded $200,000."
Malik said Asif had admitted the team was involved in match-fixing from head to toe.
