Banned Pakistan stars turn to TV for World T20

SHAMED Pakistan cricket stars Salman Butt and Mohammad Aamer, both serving long bans for spot-fixing, have turned television pundits for the World Twenty20 tournament in Sri Lanka, which began yesterday.

Both have been banned from cricket for at least five years for their role in arranging deliberate no-balls to order during the 2010 Lord's test against England.

Butt, captain in the infamous Lord's test, appeared on the ARY news channel during Pakistan's five wicket win over India in a warm-up match in Colombo on Monday, while Aamer made an appearance on Express News the same day.

Butt controversially did a stint as pundit for Pakistan's Channel Five during last year's 50-over World Cup, but this is the first time 20-year-old Aamer has appeared as an expert.

Butt, Aamer and Mohammad Asif were jailed in England.
