LONDON, Aug 29 (AP/UNB) - The mentor and coach of teenage cricket prodigy Mohammad Amir has rejected allegations that the youngster is involved in corruption after he was named in an undercover match-fixing investigation.

The 18-year-old Amir claimed a test best 6-84 in the fourth test against England on Saturday before his achievement was overshadowed hours later by allegations in a British newspaper that he and fellow opening bowler Mohammad Asif deliberately bowled no-balls in a spot-fixing scam.

Asif Bajwa told The Associated Press that Amir, who has been likened to Wasim Akram, "is not that kind of chap."

Bajwa first met the left-arm fast bowler when he enrolled at Bajwa's cricket and school academy in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
