Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamir, Pakistan’s fast bowling duo, has submitted their respective replies to the International Cricket Council (ICC) against the spot-fixing charges today (Friday, 17 December).
Mohammad Aamir, left-arm fast bowler, sent his case through his lawyer Shahid Karim while right-arm medium-fast bowler, Mohammad Asif, followed the suit through Barrister Allan Alexander Cameron, brother of British Prime Minister David Cameron.
After the spot-fixing claims made by a British tabloid, News of the World, the ICC had suspended three Pakistan cricketers including former test skipper Salman Butt, due to their reported association with spot-fixing personality Mazhar Majeed during the fourth Test match against England played at Lord’s in August 2010.
Apparently an independent tribunal will hold hearing of the Pakistan trio cases from January 6-11, 2011.
The spot-fixing allegations has hit Pakistan cricket very badly as the national cricketers are still trying to come out of the after-effects of the spot-fixing storm and look nervous ahead of the ICC World Cup 2011. The tournament is scheduled to be held jointly in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh after Pakistan was deprived of their right to host the event following a terrorist attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in March 2008.
