Jailed Butt appeals against sentence

FORMER Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt has filed an appeal against a 30-month prison sentence for fixing parts of a test match last year, his lawyer said.

Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were jailed last week for their part in a gambling-inspired plot to bowl no-balls at pre-arranged times during the match against England at Lord's in August 2010. Lawyer Yasin Patel said that an appeal has been lodged against the sentence handed down at London's Southwark Crown Court, the Press Association reported. Butt and Asif have been held in London's Wandsworth Prison while teenager Amir is in a young offenders' institute.
