Ijaz Ahmed gets bail
Ijaz Ahmed, the former Pakistan batsman, was freed on bail Tuesday ahead of his trial for fraud charges. Ijaz was arrested in March for allegedly issuing false cheques to a client and he was relieved to get bail after spending six weeks in jail.
"We will now follow the case as I am in the right and will fight until my name is cleared," Ijaz told AFP. "The last three months have been nightmarish. The PCB was supportive as they believed my innocence and did not disturb my job [at the Pakistan cricket academy]. I am thankful to them for supporting me."
Ijaz had pleaded his innocence and said he would take the accusers to court. He was arrested on March 26, but was taken to hospital after suffering a bout of asthma and breathing problems.
