PAKISTAN cricketer Mohammad Amir is being investigated after playing for an English amateur club side in a league match on Saturday despite his five-year ban for spot-fixing applying to all official cricket.
The pace bowler, 19, was banned for a minimum of five years along with teammates Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt by an International Cricket Council tribunal in February for bowling deliberate no balls during a test match in England last year. "I was informed by club representatives before the game that it was a friendly match, being played on a privately owned cricket ground," Amir was quoted as saying by a cricket website. The website of Surrey Cricket League Division One team Addington 1743 CC shows a scorecard on which a Mohammad Amir scored 60 runs and took four for nine off seven overs against St. Luke's. "We are aware of the reports and we are looking into it," ICC spokesman James Fitzgerald said.
