Karachi, April 6:: Beleaguered speedster Shoaib Akhtar could face another legal wrangle for reportedly dragging former captains Inzamam-ul-Haq and Moin Khan into match-fixing scandals.

Akhtar apparently told a TV show host that both Inzamam and Moin offered him money to under-perform in some matches, an allegation that left Inzamam livid.

"We are waiting to see what happens. But myself and Moin are consulting and we will then decide to may be sue him," Inzamam told a Pakistani television channel today.

He said he and Moin would wait to see what action was taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board and the International Cricket Council against Akhtar for making those allegations.

Akhtar earlier claimed he had turned down offers from bookmakers in South Africa and India to under-perform.

Inzamam gave enough indications that he was taking the allegations seriously.

"He has tried to drag us into this match fixing issue. We will wait and see and then do something," he said.
