Qayyum said Pervez confessed to handing Salim Malik and Mushtaq Ahmed $100,000 to throw a final in Sharjah.

The inquiry was initiated by Pakistan in 1998 after Australian players Shane Warne, Tim May and Mark Waugh alleged that Malik offered them a bribe to underperform on their team’s tour to Pakistan in 1995.

The Qayyum inquiry banned Malik and Ata-ur Rehman for life in 2000 and fined Mushtaq, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul Haq, Saeed Anwar — all leading stars at the time — and one other player. A dashing opener in domestic matches, Pervez played a single ODI against the West Indies at Karachi in 1980, before his career derailed over allegations of murder. The allegations were never proven.
