After having suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in their previous match, the Proteas will need to secure in victory in today’s match in order to make it to the series final on June 24.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418, who was recently released after serving 7 months in prison in the UK after being convicted on spot-fixing charges, arrived back in Pakistan today, maintaining his innocence and expressing the intent
to clear his name.
“I have no links with spot-fixing and my only mistake was that I did not make a complaint against those who made offers,” Butt said. “I am consulting my legal advisers and will decide on when to appeal against the ICC ban.”
The former skipper was released early, after completing 7 months of his 30-month sentence, after being jailed in November 2011 for conspiring to cheat during a Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 at Lord’s in 2010. In addition to the prison sentence, he was also
handed a 10 year ban (with five years suspended) from cricket by an http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Tribunal in the UAE. However, after arriving in Lahore today on June 22, the left-hander expressed the desire to appeal against the ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.
