Aamer confident of getting cleared at the final hearing
Mohammad Aamer, the teenage pacer of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 who has been suspended by the ICC for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing during the England tour, has entreated innocence and maintained that he was confident of being cleared from the spot-fixing
charges at the full hearing of ICC’s Code of Conduct Commission.
Aamer and his two teammates, Test captain Salman Butt and fast bowler Mohammad Asif, were suspended by the International Cricket Council on 2nd of September after a British tabloid named
News of the World claimed that the new-ball pair of Amir and Asif was paid by an agent, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed to bowl some pre-planned no balls in the fourth and the last Test against England played at Lord's.
But the young left-arm pacer is still adamant of his innocence and said that he was never involved into any kind of transgression.
"All bowlers bowl no-balls it can happen with anyone but that does not mean I have done spot-fixing," Aamer told a local channel.
"It is a fact that Mazhar Majeed is my agent and a good friend but it does not mean I am doing any fixing in matches," the 18-year-old emerging pacer said.
Aamer, who emerged as a hot pace prospect over the past two years, has played 15 One Day Internationals and 14 Tests for Pakistan giving a match winning performance in almost each game he played for his country. There have been lot of discussions
regarding Amir’s house that he had bought recently in the capital city of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833, Lahore. The left arm pacer made it clear that he has never been involved in making black money to adopt a richer lifestyle.
"I was a member of the team that won the T20 World Cup last year and we got a lot of prize money and bonuses. We get paid 200 to 250,000 for every ODI and around 300,000 to 350,000 rupees for a Test match. I am also doing endorsements,”
said the 18-year-old. “So, I am earning good money and that is how I purchased the house in Lahore," Aamer added.
He said that the newly bought house had cost him around Rs. 12 million which is not a big amount but the media is trying to exaggerate things. Responding to the question regarding the money recovered by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756 Yard from his hotel room
during the tour of England, the suspended paceman said he had justified each and every penny to the England police.
He also opined that he had never been involved in any match or spot-fixing and never felt of indulging into any such activity as he was earning a handsome amount by simply playing fair cricket. Amir further added that he had several lucrative
county offers lined up, “I don't need to do these corrupt things,"
Amir, alongside Salman Butt, attended a two-day appeal hearing in ICC headquarters, Dubai last week, but the appeals of the duo were rejected by the ICC Code of Conduct Commission after hearings lasting nearly 12 hours. The youngster told
the channel that he and Butt were quite angry and upset after the dismissal of their appeals as no solid reason was given while rejecting the appeals
"To us it appears as if someone didn't like the improvement of the national team and our success,” said the frustrated pacer who always had a smile on his face. "We are fighting for justice regardless of who supports us and we are very confident
we will be cleared at the final hearing.”
