Khan protested that he had been misquoted, saying that he was defending himself after having admitted that he tampered the ball in a county match 18 years ago. They claimed that Khan had called the two cricketers "racist, ill-educated and lacking in class" and was involved in ball-tampering. In the year 1996, Khan successfully defended himself in a libel action brought forth by a former English captain and all-rounder Ian Botham and batsman Allan Lamb.
