Muhammad Amir plays cricket in Surrey despite Worldwide ban| ICC Investigating
The International Cricket Council have launched an investigation into allegations that banned Pakistan pacer Mohammad Aamer has defied his worldwide cricket ban by playing for a club team in Surrey.
Muhammad Amir, 19, was found guilty by the ICC in February of deliberately bowling no balls during the Lord’s Test against England last August in exchange for payment by a gambling ring.
As a result he was banned from cricket for five years, while captain Salman Butt was hit with a 10-year ban and Mohammad Asif got seven years.
But Aamer was reportedly back in action on Saturday, starring for Addington in a Surrey Cricket League Division One match.
'What might happen next is a hypothetical question at this stage.'
An ECB spokesman said: 'We are aware of this incident and we are investigating as a matter of urgency along with the ICC to see if this game falls under our jurisdiction.'
Addington captain Ijaz Raja refused to confirm if Aamer had been playing on Saturday, saying only: 'You tell me.'
