Pakistani pacer Mohammad Asif is one of the best pace and seam bowler in Pakistan. Despite not playing international cricket for many years still there is a reputation tagged with the name of Asif. The reason is his series of brilliant bowling spells in all three formats of cricket.
Here we see him getting on top of India in the first World T20 back in 2007. Asif picked up four wickets in this game and did not give much runs in the match. Asif seamed the ball and the Indian team known for their batting completely failed against Asif.
Mohammad Asif is right arm fast bowler. He is from gujjar family in Sheikhupura. In 2006, Asif was involved in controversy after he tested positive for anabolic steroid Nandrolone, leading to the imposition of a ban which was later overturned on appeal. He was later withdrawn from Pakistan's World Cup squad with an unrelated injury. Further cricket controversy followed when he was detained in Dubai suspected of having drugs on his person and was then found to have tested positive for a banned substance during the Indian Premier League.
In August 2010 he was accused by the News of the World of deliberately bowling no-balls in return for payment from a betting syndicate. On 5 February 2011 a 3-man tribunal, appointed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) gave the verdict that he was to be banned for 7 years, with 2 of those suspended if no further offences were committed. In November 2011, Asif was convicted, along with Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir, of conspiracy charges relating to spot-fixing. On 3 November 2011, Asif was given a one-year prison sentence for his role in the scandal.
Public and media reports in Pakistan surfaced that Asif had married Pakistani actress and model, Veena Malik, on 28 May 2009, in a private ceremony in London. However, Veena Malik denied that the marriage had taken place.
In April 2010, Veena Malik filed a complaint against Asif claiming that he threatened to harm her if she did not stop pursuing her demand that he return the loan of around Rs 14 million he had taken from her. Later, she served a legal notice on Asif, after two cheques he gave her to settle the outstanding amount were bounced.
On 2 March 2010, Asif announced his engagement to Sania Hilal in Lahore. The couple wed on 1 October 2010, and Asif was reported as stating that he hoped marriage would change his life in a positive way. Attendees included Pakistan Test cricket captain Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan.
