Convicted spot-fixer Mervyn Westfield has agreed to play for minor counties side Suffolk as he tries to rebuild his career after being jailed for cheating.
The fast bowler served eight weeks in prison and was banned from professional cricket for five years in 2012.
But the England and Wales Cricket Board has now given Westfield special dispensation to play for county second XI or minor counties for 12 months.
The 27-year-old is expected to start training with Suffolk on Monday.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Absolutely unethical to let him play and not let Danish Kaneria play, when the offence by Westfield was substantial and tangible but that by Kaneria pretty subjective. Even though he might have "incited" players to take bribes a life ban is too harsh. But I guess Westfield gets a get out of jail free card because he cared to report it.
