Did you know that Mohammad Aamer has previously indicated that he has no intention to challenge the 5 year ban imposed on him by the International Cricket Council? Why I ask, why? (*sniff, sniff*)
Everyone knows the Cinderella story of Muhammad Aamer: a young boy from a remote village of Pakistan shakes up the international world of cricket by his magnificent bowling. He is the youngest bowler to have taken 50 wickets. He was only 18 when he achieved this magnificent feat.
Unfortunately, he’s also famous for being one of three Pakistani players jailed for spot fixing. He was around 18-19 when he was convicted of taking money from bookies and in return willfully bowling two no-balls.
In a recent interview, which he gave after being released from jail early, he said that he was tricked by Salman Butt into bowling the no-balls. He said he was naive and Salman Butt took full advantage of this fact to trap him. I saw that interview of his, and I must say he did sound convincing. Though, only God knows best.
Yes, we all know he made a mistake, but considering the fact that he was young and impressionable I believe his sentence should be shortened. He has already been out of cricket for two years and has also served a jail sentence. I truly believe he should be given a second chance. In fact it’s not just me, a lot of people hold the same view regarding Aamer’s comeback.
“We all want him to come back at some stage and I don’t know whether that’s… it’s going to be a challenge,” remarked Rahul Dravid. “I hope he can do it; it would be great if he can.”
Just recently, Mohammad Aamer has also been encouraged by Zaka Ashraf, chairman of the PCB, to give up his previous stance and appeal against his five-year ban, indicating that Mr. Ashraf is also of the view that Aamer was tricked into bowling the two no-balls. In recent interviews Mr. Zaka said,
“I think the five-year ban is too harsh and it is down to Amir if he wishes to appeal against that lengthy ban imposed upon him. I would suggest that he does appeal against the ban and I think the relevant body should take a lenient view given his age and the talent he possesses. ‘We should not let this young boy’s career be ruined, we should all try to help him and understand that he was trapped into getting involved in spot-fixing.”
I know there are people who want him and the other two accused players to be made examples of to all those who would even think of indulging in such a shameful act, and I get where these people are coming from. They brought shame to the sport and more over they shamed our country and disappointed their loving fans. Some people also argue that he is lying when he said that he was curious about why he was being asked his bank account number and gave it to find out what happens next. They say he was himself interested in fixing.
I agree that this point in his interview doesn’t make any sense but he has already accepted his mistake, has apologized and is serving his sentence. And in my opinion (yes, I know i keep repeating the same thing over and over again), considering the overall circumstances and the sentences he has already served out, all this should warrant some level of leniency and giving him another chance.
By the way, it may seem like I’m running a campaign for Mohammad Aamer but I’m not. It’s just that Pakistanis have very little to sing about these days, but cricket is one thing that the entire country loves and enjoys and Aamer was a real beacon of hope for us all. I don’t want this beacon to die out.
I can’t help it….. I love the kid!

I believe Pakistan is ful of talented cricketers and who was knowing before that aamir could be big threat to the other teams but he proved and nation should not be disappointed about this as believe me there are many to prove like him. ..but they need proper system and a ample chance to prove and regarding aamir it’s matter of court so let the court decide and let the judges do their work and honestly let the aamir learn from him blunder.
plz come back soon we all need you man..
I want come back Aamir in Pasistan team
I want amir back in action
I myself is a big lover of cricket. I firmly believe that this new talent who unleashed his strength in the bowling department should not be wasted. He committed his all the blunders. He has been penalized for that. Its time to move on and let the Boy play again !!
I want back.. Amir u r grand prime boller..love you
M.Aamir should do a come back no doubt he is a clever bowler with having accuracy in his line and length with the bowl. but. the question arrives is that is he still able to bowl with such consistency which he showed in his early days according to PCB he will have to show in the Domestic cricket in order to make place in the final eleven. We are watching Umar Gul who was paired with M.Aamir because of his deadly yorkers and now he is nowhere nearer to that form in fact, in domestic cricket the batsmen were punishing him quite hard. Similarly Aamir has not played cricket for a very long time, i think he needs to work really hard to do a come back and if succeed he is welcomed to play for Pakistan. But, fairly. not like Hindi Cartoon
Muhammad Amir is young fast bowler and pakistan need him .Every body can make amistake as a humanbeing. We should forgave him.Best regards Amir.
I want aamir back in Pakistan team because we have not a good fast bowler like amir there for I request to pcb to give achance to M.amir

Plx a amir back
Yes, I agree with you, but when he will come back in International Cricket he played as a National Hero not a fake hero. I hope he will come back as soon as possible.
#backbackback!!!!
According to my observation Muhammad Amir is not a prisoner because he was a player of Pakistan cricket team and he committed this work under the influence of Captain of Pakistan cricket team Salman Butt. Muhammad Amir was a young player. Muhammad Asif and Salman Butt destroyed the career of that young player. There was no senior player in Pakistan cricket team on that time and Salman Butt took the advantage and urged Muhammad Amir to play no ball so According to my opinion every person commits a mistake and if he completed punishment of that mistake then this mistake should be forgiven. Muhammad Amir had lived in jail and completed his banned of 5 year so now one chance should be given to Amir.
I 100% agree with you because as he was a young person he could’ve been easily influenced by a senior and at the end I think he should get another chance.
well for given him to the chance again back to pakistan squad. insha allah. i wish all the best aamer
yea I agree with u
we need u Muhammad Aamir. big three or india brothers knows that he is the most dangerous bowler in a pakistani team so they planned that amir is dont come back.And they done
want back Mohammed Aamer
I want you back Mohammed Amer !
I want you back mohammed Amir
Every mistake gives new chance to do some best from failure…..govt must help him to be a victory of cricket world
I want Amir to come back..he is really talented and brave :)
yes i want to see amir back in cricket.
yes we want to see back muhammad amir in pak. cricket team
I know Rameez Raja was making some ridiculous comments about his return. Rameez doesn’t understand that this is not his team, this belongs to Pakistan. Will of Pakistani people supersedes his opinion or any of his opinions.
Rameez needs to understand that it was Pakistan who made him Captain of the Cricket Team and kept him in the team while he continued to under performed and let the team go down for so many times and for so long. He was below average batsman and unable to see what’s important for the team, just like throughout his cricketing career.
