PCB wants ICC to reconsider Mohammad Amir five-year ban

 

Islamabad: Acting chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board says he will ask the International Cricket Council to reconsider the five-year ban on young fast bowler Mohammad Amir for spot-fixing.
Najam Sethi is scheduled to attend the ICC board meeting in England later this week where he plans to raise the issue of Amir's ban.
Sethi says, "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."

PCB's acting chief Najam Sethi is scheduled to attend the ICC board meeting in England later this week where he plans to raise the issue of Amir's ban.

Amir is banned until September 2015 for bowling deliberate no-balls during a test match against England in 2010. The left-arm fast bowler pleaded guilty and did not appeal against the ban. Appeals by his team-mates Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt were rejected by Court of Arbitration for Sport.
