Mohammad Amir’s mentor blames Pakistani legal system for cricket corruption – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Amir-c76675, has lambasted on his national political and legal authorities, which he considers are responsible for the spot-fixing scandal that has put three talented Pakistani
players behind the bars.
Bajwa, who raised Amir as his son, providing him free training, boarding, lodging and moral support, is badly heartened at the teenager’s demise at the very outset of his promising career.
The angry coach opines that had Pakistan’s legal system been strict and fair, such type of gruesome incidents would never have happened.
Talking to the media today, Bajwa said, “If laws are strictly followed, nobody will have the courage to do this. What's different about other countries? There are laws prevailing, strict laws."
Amir was subjected to 6-month imprisonment by the Southwark Crown Court last week for his daring confessions regarding his involvement, along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993, in the spot-fixing scam that erupted in London last year. Butt and Asif were
jailed for 30 months and 12 months respectively. Apart from this chastisement, the trio has to endure 5-year bans, imposed by International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625).
Almost all cricket analysts and experts avow that the stringent punishment has ruined the career of Amir who is just 19-years-old at the moment. However, Bajwa is still hopeful of the talented pacer’s comeback in International cricket.
He told, “Everyone is asking, 'How can you say he can play after all these years?' I say you don't know me, you don't know Amir. Everything is possible. "
Recalled Amir’s memories, the mentor stated, “He was very shy, totally focused on the game, not involved in any other activities, any mischievous behavior. He always used to tell me 'Sir, I want to be a big player, a famous player.”
Amir staged his International debut in 2009 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Khan-c64237.
Before being suspended, Amir had bagged 51 Test, 25 ODI and 23 T20I wickets. The left hander was rocketing to the sky of success rapidly but just one blunder put a full stop before his marathon.
