LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja have spoken out in defence of Mohammad Aamer, the 18-year-old fast bowling sensation allegedly involved in the Lord’s spot-fixing scandal.
Aamer was a revelation during the recent four-Test series against England, in which he collected 19 wickets at an average of 18.36 and proved unplayable at times in helpful swinging conditions.
Ramiz expressed sympathy for Aamer and stated that the greater blame lay with the men who had led him astray so early in his career. “To see an 18-year old boy being dragged into the controversy is the worse part,” Ramiz was quoted by Cricinfo.
