Amir files appeal against five-year ban
Amir filed the appeal against the ban in the International Court of Arbitration for Sports in Switzerland.
His lawyer, Shahid Karim said he is hopeful for a positive outcome of their appeal, arguing that the ICC's anti-corruption tribunal had not taken into consideration Amir's age or previous disciplinary record while making its decision.
Amir is one of three Pakistani cricketers suspended for spot-fixing, the others being Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif.
Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Ijaz Butt had also requested a review of the ban on Amir.
“As the anti-corruption tribunal has asked for a review on the code of conduct, we too have requested the ICC to have a review on the five-year ban on Amir,” said Butt, who had hoped the matter would be discussed at the ICC’s next board meeting.
