Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
However, the match-fixing saga blotted his CV irretrievably as Malik became the first ever player to be slapped with a life ban for match-fixing in 2000 after three top Australian cricketers accused him of offering them bribes to under-perform.
Almost a decade later, a local court in Lahore overturned the ban and swiped aside all match-fixing allegations.
Interesting fact: At the age of 18 Malik hit a hundred on his Test debut, becoming the youngest batsman to do so.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Saleem Malik was many things: a gifted, wristy, square-of-the-wicket batsman; the first man who really got on top of Shane Warne, in Pakistan in 1994-95; a fine overseas player for Essex (where he became known as "Slim") in 1991, if less so later; and an influential captain of Pakistan. Unfortunately his role in cricket did not end there. In 2000, he became the first player to be banned - from all cricket - for match-fixing, when Justice Qayyum's inquiry found him guilty. Shane Warne and Mark Waugh also testified that Malik had tried to bribe them to lose the Karachi Test of 1994-95 (which Australia did, by one wicket). He protested his innocence, appealed against the ban in 2001 but the Lahore High Court rejected it. He sought relief from the Supreme Court and after a seven-year wait, had his ban lifted by a lower court.
