The Pakistan Cricket Board will ask the International Cricket Council to reconsider the five-year ban on young fast bowler Mohammad Amir for spot-fixing.
The interim chairman of the PCB is scheduled to attend the ICC board meeting in England later this week where he plans to raise the issue of Amir’s ban.
He said: “Amir is a great star … I will try to make the ICC understand that Amir is a young cricketer, he has already served two, two-and-a-half years of his ban.”
Amir is banned until September 2015 for bowling deliberate no-balls during a test match against England in 2010. The leftarm fast bowler pleaded guilty and did not appeal against the ban. Appeals by his teammates Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt were rejected by Court of Arbitration for Sport.
This is what you expect from Najam Sethi.Malign Pakistan in any form.This issue is dead and buried so should be this acring PCB Chief.
Strict action must be taken on the match fixers whoever he is, like India did such a harsh actions on the spot fixers. This chapter must be closed in Pakistan and whoever, whatever talent he has, strictest actions should be taken so that no one else dares to repeat it again.
