Malik8217;s fixing warning before important match a mistake: Afridi

8220;I don8217;t thin Interior Minister Rehman Malik8217;s statement was not at the right time. He telephoned me three or four times and he tried to explain things but I could not understand what he was saying as I was busy with my work. I think he made a mistake and I hope such mistakes aren8217;t made by anyone in future,8221; Afridi said.

Malik caused quite a furore by stating before the match that the team8217;s activities would be watched.

8220;I gave a warning that there should be no match-fixing. I am keeping a close watch. If any such thing happens,we are going to take action,8221; he had stated.
