Comments: Hello, I was just on the News of the World website and realised that they had wrongly named one of the individuals as Umar Gul, and if you look at the picture the gentleman being mentioned is not Umar Gul. The PCB and Umar Gul can make a case against the News of the World as an attempt to malign Umar Gul. You can see the page at: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/942532/Pakistan-match-fixer-Majeed-Im-going-to-show-you-two-no-balls-tomorrow-and-then-you-pay.html The first picture is where Umar Gul is wrongly accused of being there with News of the World's own agent Mazhar Majeed. I hope PCB will take action and Umar Gul will serve this dubious newspaper a notice.
Thank you
