They were accused of having carried out specific on-field actions, including bowling no-balls at pre-determined times, during the Lord's Test against England on the instance of a bookie named Mazhar Majeed. The three players were later banned by the ICC and were also sentenced by a British court to jail for spells of detention. Based on this context, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif on Wednesday responded to the ICC's question on Twitter that asked fans to disclose their favourite cricketing memory of the 2010s decade.
