Cricket News in Brief – November 03, 2011 – Part 1
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE).
Afridi, who retired from international cricket after developing differences with team management and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), abrogated his retirement last month after the departure of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193.
"I am ready to play cricket either as a player or captain, I still have cricket left in me and a lot to offer for my country. It is always a privilege to lead the side but the captain has always been a scapegoat,” said Afridi while talking to newsmen after
holding his meeting with the newly appointed chairman PCB, Zaka http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashraf-c46397.
Later the flamboyant all-rounder was named in the national team which marks his return in international cricket.
However, Afridi has not been named the Captain of the team as the board decided to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, who was put in charge of the limited overs squad after Afridi’s departure.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed has blamed Salman Butt for spot-fixing, while giving explicit details in front of Southwark Crown Court judge in a bid to secure a lenient punishment.
Majeed’s lawyer stated that it was in fact http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s former Test captain Salman Butt who incepted the idea of spot-fixing while meeting Majeed at a dinner during the Twenty20 World Cup 2009 in England.
Majeed pleaded guilty of all charges in the spot-fixing case that has already seen in co-conspirators http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Amir-c76675 and Mohammad Asif banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) from all forms of cricket for a minimum of five-years.
Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 all-rounder Ian Botham wants the International Cricket Council to take strict action against match/spot-fixing in the game of cricket to stamp out this menace once and for all.
Linking the former South African skipper Hansie Cronje’s match-fixing debacle and the current spot-fixing fiasco, he said, “It is 11 years since http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 have just
sat on their hands and pretended it's not there. Well now they know it's there so they have got to act."
Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 has come down hard on the spot-fixing tainted Pakistan players as he believes that the players have done the worst possible thing.
Dhoni, in an interview stated that it was unfortunate that Salman Butt and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993 had been found guilty of spot-fixing in a London court, but felt that if someone tarnishes the image of his country as a sportsman then he should be prepared for the
worst.
