Mohammad Amir is one of the tainted talents of World Cricket. Amir burst onto the cricketing scene as a fiery quick with loads of talent but couldn’t stay away from the grasp of match-fixing. However, he was given a second life and allowed to play for Pakistan.
He was once spotted under the allegations of Spot Fixing when he and his counterpart Mohammad Asif intentionaly bowled No-Balls which was questioned by an English News-Paper but Amir continued his protest against the allegations to prove his innocence.
Amir was banned from under the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code but later on, Amir breached the ban while playing for Surrey Cricket which was a friendly match. He was informed that he can play a friendly match despite his ban while ICC was investigating the Incident.
He served half of his six-month sentence at the Portland Young Offenders Institute in Dorset when he was convicted at the Southwark Crown Court along with Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt. they were pleaded guilty, of Conspiracy to cheat at gambling and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments.
