International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday said it has allowed Mohammad Amir to play domestic cricket, a decision taken in its first meeting of 2015 at the ICC Headquarters in Dubai.
A statement posted to the ICC website said that ICC’s Anti Corruption and Security Unit Chairman (ACSU), Sir Ronnie Flanagan, has exercised his discretion to allow Mohammad Amir to return to domestic cricket played under the auspices of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) with immediate effect.
Amir was banned for five-year which will expire on September 2 this year.
The statement said the ACSU Chairman was satisfied that Amir had cooperated with the unit by fully disclosing his part in the matters that led to his disqualification, admitting his guilt, showing remorse and cooperating with the Unit’s ongoing investigations and by recording messages for the ACSU education sessions.”
