Spot-fixing Case

Spot-fixing Case complete After 2 Weeks:

 Asif reportedly told the tribunal that he bowled the specific no-ball
on the instructions of his then captain Salman Butt – also being questioned
in Doha – in order to intimidate the England batsmen. The statement
is in stark contrast to the approach taken by Butt and the less experienced
fast bowler Mohammad Amir and has indicated a growing split between
the pair and Asif

 

Mohammad Amir's legal counsel has requested the ICC's three-man
tribunal examining the charges of spot-fixing to take more time to study
the case before announcing its verdict. The closing statements of the
six-day hearing were presented After 2 week, Amir's laywer Shahid
Karim was hoping for a deferment.

"We have requested the judges to look at the case carefully and
properly and with due consideration before they announce the verdict,
" Karim told Geo TV. "This is up to them, and if they have looked at it
with thought and consideration, then after we finish they'll tell us if the
verdict is announced today or at a later date.

"I am satisfied that the hearing has been very good and impartial, and
I can say from our point of view at least we are hopeful. The onus is
now on the judges."

"We are satisfied with how things have gone, and my family's prayers
are also with me. I'm feeling good and am hoping for some good news."

Amir's lawyer Karim said,"I am happy with the procedure of the hearing. The ICC code of conduct has a clause which points to looking at the player's age and past disciplinary record and Amir is young, so we hope the tribunal will keep this in mind
