Srinagar: Former Pakistan skipper and PCB chief Ramiz Raja has said that he will never accept fixers like Mohammad Amir back into the game.
“My opinion on this is very simple. While sympathy may exist for him [Amir], in my book there is no forgiveness. If God forbid my son was to engage in such actions, I would disown him,” Raja said during an interview with Pakistan channel.
“I remember the time when these players did fixing because I was doing commentary at Lord’s. People hated me because I was being identified with the fixers, in their opinion, and I can never forget the criticism we faced on media,” he added.
Amir was banned from international cricket for five years by the International Cricket Council (ICC) along with Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt, in a spot-fixing case in 2010.
Amir has played 36 Tests, 61 One-Day Internationals and 50 T20s for Pakistan.
