Azeem Rafiq's witness statement stated that Shahzad accused him of 'blackmailing' Rashid, which he denied.

Adil Rashid attested that he has a 'very distinct recollection' of what he heard on June 22, 2009 concerning Michael Vaughan's alleged 'too many of you lot' comment. He could not remember the outcome of the match at Trent Bridge, but he did remember the remark. He stated, "As soon as the huddle broke off, people were heading to their positions, that is when I remember it being said. I have a very clear memory actually. I believe you already know the words, 'There's too many of you lot, you need to have a word, you need to do something regarding it'. It is the phrase 'there's too many of you lot'." Rashid declared he was not offended, taking the alleged comments as 'poor wit'.
