Cricket star Mohammad Asif told his girlfriend Pakistan wouldn't win a Test match on tour, it was claimed last night.
Ex-girlfriend Veena Malik said the bowler - being probed for match-fixing - told her last year: "We will not win a match during the tour to Australia. We won't win anything until 2010."
She claimed he also bragged there was big money to be earned from betting scams.
The actress, 32, said corruption among players and officials was rife.
She added: "I told him not to become involved but he did not listen."
Three more cricket stars are to be quizzed over claims of match-fixing.
The entire Pakistani team will eventually be interviewed as detectives work to unmask alleged conspirators.
And officials will study all 82 Tests and one-day matches played by the team in the period alleged fixer Mazhar Majeed is said to have been operating the scam.
Bowlers Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and skipper Salman Butt are already under investigation after having their mobile phones confiscated.
Wicket keeper Kamran Akmal has also been questioned.
And last night the net was widening after Asif’s ex-girlfriend sensationally claimed that cheating among the players was rife.
Actress Veena Malik said that last year Asif told her Pakistan would not win any Test series until 2010 – and that good money could be earned from spot-fixing.
In a damning interview given to a Pakistan news channel, Veena, 32, said: “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’.”
