Two years after losing the final of the 2007 T20 World Cup to India, the Pakistani team was once again in the final. Pakistan created history by defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in the final of the 2009 T20 World Cup. Pakistan had become the T20 World Champion for the first time, but after that the secret of the cheating that happened with the world winning team was revealed by Saeed Ajmal.

Saeed Ajmal had told in a media interaction this year that after winning the 2009 World Cup, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan had given a check of Rs 25-25 lakh to each player of the winning team, but due to the check bouncing, no one got even a single penny.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister turns out to be a thief

Saeed Ajmal, who came as a guest on a Pakistani YouTube channel, made a big revelation and said, “When we returned after winning the 2009 T20 World Cup, we did not get much money. Because we were going to tour Sri Lanka after that. The then Prime Minister of Pakistan invited us and gave a check of Rs 25-25 lakh to each player. We were happy, because it was a huge amount in those days. But the check bounced.”

Ajmal was shocked and said that even the government’s check could bounce. The players were told that the Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board would handle the matter, but the Chairman clearly refused. PCB Chairman shrugged it off and said that only the Prime Minister will handle this work. Ajmal revealed that Pakistani players received the same money which came from ICC.

During the Asia Cup 2025, the Pakistan cricket team was in constant controversy, whether it would have to refuse to take the trophy of Indian players with PCB President Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan Cricket Administration’s failures or Naqvi’s run with the Asia Cup trophy, every issue got discussion. Meanwhile, an old statement of former Pakistan cricketer Saeed Ajmal is becoming viral again on social media, which has shocked everyone.

Government had cheated

Actually, Ajmal had told that after winning the 2009 T20 World Cup, the Pakistan team was cheated by his own government. Pakistan won the title in the final played at the Lord’s ground in England and the whole country was immersed in celebrations. The then Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani had promised to give 25-25 lakh Pakistani rupees to the players, but when it came to pay this amount, the government gave the checks in the hands of the players, which later bounced.

Ajmal had said in a podcast, “I was surprised how the government’s checks could be bounced. Later when the players went to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the matter, they refused to take responsibility. PCB said that it was the promise of the government, not the board.

Saeed Ajmal’s performance

Significantly, Saeed Ajmal proved to be a star player for Pakistan in that 2009 tournament. He took 12 wickets and played an important role in making the team champion. In his international career, Ajmal played 35 Tests, 113 ODIs and 64 T20 matches, in which he took 447 wickets in total.

Big difference between India and Pakistan

This revelation once again showed that Pakistan cricket and its politics are entangled among themselves. The players could not get a respectable reward even after a big achievement like winning the World Cup.

On the other hand, India’s picture is completely different. Recently, after winning the Asia Cup 2025, the BCCI announced a prize money of Rs 21 crore for Team India. BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world and it always ensures better facilities and reward for its players. This is the reason that Indian cricketers feel safe and respected not only on the field but also at the economic level.

The Asia Cup 2025 is to start from 9 September. At the same time, its final match will be held on 28 September. This is the 17th edition of the Asia Cup. This time the Asia Cup will be in T20 format. Before this, the Asia Cup has been in T20 format twice. Apart from this, 14 times the Asia Cup has been played in ODI format. The record of taking the most wickets in the history of Asia Cup is in the name of Sri Lankan veteran fast bowler Lasith Malinga.
