Mazhar Majeed, the Pakistani cricketers’ agent who was in the news for his alleged role in the spot-fixing controversy, has now claimed to have access to leading Indian cricketers-batsman Yuvraj Singh and spinner Harbhajan Singh.

Majeed also claimed to “very well” know Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, Swiss tennis champion Roger Federer, former England cricketers Mike Gatting, Phil Tufnell, Geoffrey Boycott, Pakistan ex-skipper Imran Khan and former Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi, Salman Butt, brothers Kamran and Umar Akmal, and Shoaib Malik and had access to other star cricketers like Chris Gayle, Brett Lee, Ricky Ponting, Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh, media reported.

Majeed claimed he had been “fixing” matches for two and a half years. Previously, jurors were shown footage of Majeed being handed £140,000 cash in batches of £50 by Mahmood on the eve of the Lord’s Test match last year.

Mahmood lured Majeed to the meeting posing as an Indian businessman from “Tata Equity” with the promise of setting up a Twenty20 tournament in the United Arab Emirates, which would be sponsored by Etihad Airlines.
