LAHORE: Pakistan’s suspended pacer Mohammad Asif has hired the services of British lawyer Alan Alexander Cameron to represent him in the spot-fixing allegations case.
Alexander is the elder brother of British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Reports said that Elizabeth Robertson, who was representing the pacer, had taken maternity leave and that forced the cricketer to look for another lawyer.
“Asif during his recent visit to London had many meetings with Robertson and then with Alexander Cameron to discuss his case,” reports said.
Asif and his teammates Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir were provisionally suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on September 2 on allegations of spot-fixing during their tour of England with the national team.
The ICC has scheduled a full hearing of its code of conduct commission three-man tribunal from January 6 to 11 in Doha, Qatar. Reports said that Asif’s legal team was also expected to file their reply to the ICC shortly after Christmas.
