Salim Malik played the 1999 World Cup and then was banned for playing international cricket again.
He was accused of match fixing on Australia's 1994 tour of Pakistan when he allegedly bribed Mark Waugh, Shane Warne and Tim May to throw matches deliberately by under performing. Under Justice Qayyum's report on match fixing and tainted players Saleem Malik was given life ban from playing international cricket.
Saleem Malik was a stylish and elegant batsman. He was particularly known for accumulating runs by taking a lot of singles, twos and threes and then improvising to hit strokes to all parts of the ground for sixes and fours. He was known to rescue Pakistan from collapses and was a match winner.
In the end what i would like to say is that a promising career of an elegant batsmen such as Salim Malik ended because of match fixing allegations.
