Former Pakistani cricketers advise young players to learn from spot-fixing saga – Cricket News Update
Some of the former cricket legends of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 have come up to admonish the in-action players to learn from the spot-fixing chronicle of the convicted trio and stay away from such type of corrupt practices in a bid to prolong their careers prestigiously.
In the aftermath of International Cricket Council’s (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418 guilty of fraud and corruption, and a severe penalty
up to seven years of imprisonment is likely to be imposed on them by the end of this week.
The threesome was reported to have accepted bribes to practice spot-fixing in a Test match at Lord’s last year. After The News of the World broke the story, the ICC enforced bans on each of them in February 2011.
Following yesterday’s court verdict, almost all cricket analysts have written the obituaries of the trio’s professional careers.
Talking to the media, the former opener, Aamir http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-c90628, said, “We should move forward and learn from this. If we do not learn from today such things will hit us again.”
The ex-pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jalaluddin-c65364 commented, “The future of these cricketers is finished. When you stay away from the game for such a long period there’s always a chance that someone else will take your place in the team.”
Another former Test bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sikander-Bakht-c90277, told, “Our future generation should learn from today’s verdict.”
The former Test skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rashid-Latif-c84084, remarked, “I think not only the players should be blamed for what has happened today; we didn’t have a strong administration. But as a player I am very sad.”
These cricketing greats unanimously believe that all the three young and talented players, especially Amir, have ruined their careers and it is a huge loss for Pakistan cricket. Some of them have even reprimanded the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not
taking proactive measure to prevent such scandals.
This is for the second time, after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salim-c88143 Malik and Ataur Rehman’s scam, the green nation has earned disrepute in the international community, but this time the magnitude of the issue is greater than ever.
