Pakistan’s former Captain and left-hand opening batsman Amir http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-c90628 believes that time has come for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to introduce new reforms in the country’s cricket to avoid incidents like spot-fixing from happening in future.
The 45-year-old Amir while talking to newsmen in response to a verdict given by a London court against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993 - the two spot-fixing tainted players - said, “We have seen similar episodes in the past. It all happened, but the net result
is that it is happening again. Until you learn and introduce reforms and proper strategy, I am afraid it will continue to happen in the future."
"It is a very sad thing for Pakistan cricket. These three were very talented. People were expecting they would do well for the country. The loss of talent like this is really sad," he continued.

The heinous crime of the accused players was disclosed in a sting operation by a defunct tabloid “News of the World” after which the players were barred from taking part in any form of cricket and were later banned from the sport after an inquiry by the
International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) found them guilty of all charges.
