of that one scandal.
The trio has been banned from all kinds of competitive cricket for a lengthy period of time and on top of that, they have been sentenced to jail in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
Apart from bringing bad reputation to Pakistani cricket, the Green Shirts have faced a massive loss as all the three of them were rated amongst the most talented players in international cricket. Salman was the captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in Test cricket and many
tipped him to lead the Green Shirts for a long period of time in all the three departments of the game. Whereas, Amir and Asif were without doubt one of the most brilliant new-ball bowlers in the world.
While expressing his emotions during an interview to Pakpassion, the discarded all-rounder said that whatever happened during the Lords Test match last year was extremely unfortunate. He said that the players these days get a handsome amounts of money from
their cricket boards and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-c88163 ,being an educated person, should have been aware of the consequences.
Mahmood expressed, “Whatever happened was really bad. Look, I still can’t believe that these boys could do something like this. Mashallah, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418 was educated and all these boys were getting paid well and they had central contracts – they had everything
they needed.”
Azhar feels that cricketers from all around the world have been involved in this curse in past and believes that the players must remain very careful because one such act has cost the trio their whole career. He further added that it is the responsibility
of the International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) and different cricket boards to educate the players.
“You can see that a mistake has caused so much damage that today the poor souls are sitting in a jail. Any person can become greedy - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wessel-Johannes-Cronje-c96502 was involved in this as were other cricketers in the world this is why the PCB, the ICC and others should
sit down and try and guide the players”, the veteran added.
