Imran threatens to take Sarfaraz to court
Fed up with Sarfaraz Nawaz making "defaming" allegations time and again, former Pakistan captain Imran Khan on Thursday promised to take legal action against the ex-teammate and ask him to prove his unsubstantiated and baseless statements.
"This man (Sarfaraz) thinks he can say anything against anyone and get away because people don't like to associate themselves with someone of his calibre and low character.
But this time he has said enough I am going to take him to court and file a defamation suit against him for damages or else he prove his allegations in court," Imran told a popular radio channel today.
Imran and Sarfaraz formed one of the most lethal bowling attacks for Pakistan in their prime in the late 70s and early 80s and Imran has generally credited his teammate for making him a world class bowler.
But in recent years both have fallen out and Sarfaraz has developed a knack of making loud statements and serious allegations against anyone under the sun.
In his latest outburst he told a television channel that Imran had demanded money from former Pakistan player Younus Ahmed to play him in the side on a tour and after he didn't pay the full amount he was sent packing home.
Sarfaraz has alleged he was witness to the deal between Imran and Younus. He has also claimed that Imran used to take hashish regularly (Charas) and had bowdy sex romps as a Pakistan team member.
