Aamir tol consult lawyer to appeal against ban

DOHA: One of the Pakistani cricketing trio, Mohammed Aamir, who has been charged with spot-fixing and faced ban for five years from international cricket by ICC anti-corruption tribunal, stated after the decision rocked the cricket world that he would consult his counselor first before making mind to appeal against ban, Geo News reported late Saturday.

He said he was disappointed at ICC’s tribunal’s decision, adding that he had not even thought of such an unsympathetic punishment.

It is pertinent to mention here that ICC’s anti-corruption tribunal, which heard spot-fixing case against temporary suspended Pakistani trio, Mohammed Asif, Salman Butt and Mohammed Aamir, pronounced ruling against suspects on Saturday.

The tribunal banned Salman Butt, Mohammed Asif and Mohammed Aamir for ten, seven and five years from international cricket respectively.
