Amir is an adult and should have been capable of knowing what he did was wrong, didnt deserve no special treatment.
DOHA: The players deserved what they got in the end. Of course, it is painful for us to see our cricketers spend time in prison but clearly the need is to learn a lesson from all of this and not commit such actions again.
As for Mohammad Amir, we shouldn’t feel all that sad. He may be young — and yes he is foolish — but he is not so young as to be pardoned or given an undue favour. He is an adult and should have been capable of knowing that what he did was wrong and that he could be caught for it. That is why he deserved no special treatment.
