DUBAI – Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed has foiled an attempt of bookies for a spot-fixing during the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka, local media reported.
A member of international fixing racket approached Ahmad in guise of a fan when the skipper was shopping with his family in a mall in Dubai and extended an offer for spot-fixing.
Sarfraz refused the offer and immediately informed the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) regarding the mater.

Following the incident, the board has tightened the security of players and directed them to avoid irrelevant people while at public places, it is learnt.
