I am dying to return to cricket, admits Amir

Banned Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir expressed hope on Monday that he would get an early opportunity to resurrect his international cricket career which abruptly ended in August 2010 following a nasty spot-fixing scandal.

Amir, still only 21, was banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) tribunal in February 2011 for five years in the spot-fixing scandal along with the then Pakistan skipper Salman Butt and fellow paceman Mohammad Asif after they were found guilty of bowling deliberate no-balls in return for money during the fourth and final Test against England at Lord’s.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Amir's case was the most saddening of all three, specially since he was such a special young talent.

I still think he shouldn't be allowed to play international cricket to make an example out of him, but on the flip side of it maybe there could be some room for a second chance.

When is his ban ending anyway?

There is no sense in even suggesting he should be banned for life!


He had bee stupid, adjudged guilty and levied a punishment after which he should be allowed to play.


The ICC should have used him during his ban to tench youngsters about the corruptive elements within the game from which they should remove themselves.

I'm more sympathetic towards Amir, as he at least acknowledged it without much reluctance. I do believe that there is room for reform in his case. Also used to really love watching his bowling, such a prodigy. What a waste, could've been totally acing the test arena now.

KaydenAmir Jangoo’s unbeaten 104 and Keacy Carty’s 95 helped West Indies scale a 322-run chase against Bangladesh in St Kitts. They won the series 3-0 after Jangoo became the first West Indian in 46 years to score a century on ODI debut. He guided the side in two fast-paced partnerships. It is also the fourth time that West Indies successfully chased a 300-plus target in ODIs.(13.12.2024, 19:36)(19:36)0

SalmaBy intertwining politics with sports, the BCCI has placed international cricket in a precarious position. Fully support the PCB's stance against the hybrid model - especially since Pakistan (despite security concerns) has toured India five times, including a bilateral white-ball series, post-26/11. It's time for the ICC and its Board of Directors to uphold fairness and assert their authority(28.11.2024, 15:07)(15:07)0
SalmaWest Indies won their first Test at home in two-and-a-half years when they beat Bangladesh in the first Test in Antigua by 201 runs. The visitors' chase of 334 was brought to a close at 132 for 9 on the fifth morning, just an over after Alzarri Joseph struck No. 11 Shoriful Islam on the back of his shoulder. The Bangladesh physio didn't clear Shoriful to continue his innings, thus bringing the curtains down on the game as Shoriful retired hurt.(28.11.2024, 13:35)(13:35)0

Annabella?Motie the batsman!? Its becoming a habit. He came in at117/8 and left at 166/9

Motie smashed 33(14)

He is world Number 2 bowler but probably wants a promotion to Motie the all rounder.
