Ata-ur-Rehman (cricketer)

In 1998 Ata-ur-Rehman claimed that Wasim Akram had paid him 100,000 Pakistani rupees to bowl badly in a one-day match held at Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 1994. As a result of the Qayyum Commission Ata-ur-Rehman was proceeded against for perjury and when it published its report in 2000 the Commission recommended that he be banned from international cricket, further finding that the evidence against Wasim Akram has not reached what it called "the requisite level", primarily because Ata-ur-Rehman had perjured himself. Qayyum himself subsequently suggested that his "soft corner" for Wasim Akram might have influenced him when handing the former Pakistan captain his punishment. ==Subsequent career==
