LAHORE, Mar 27: Police arrested Pakistan fielding coach Ijaz Ahmed Thursday over an alleged land scam. The 40-year-old former Test cricketer is accused of writing checks to two property dealers that bounced and were worth more than $130,000 (10.5 million rupees), according to police officer Rana Abdul Jabbar.
