The request comes just days after International Cricket Council eased restrictions on fast bowler Amir, allowing him to return to domestic cricket.
Former Pakistan captain Butt was banned for 10 years, and fast bowling pair Asif for seven years and Amir for five years in 2011 after being found guilty of deliberately bowling no balls in the Lord’s Test match played between Pakistan and England from 26 to 29 August 2010.
Amir's five year ban is scheduled to expire on September 5, 2015 however, his cooperation with anti-corruption officials led to an easing of the ban, enabling the player to take part in domestic cricket.

The petitioner said the 'disgraced' three should not be allowed to play for humiliating the nation at international level.

@ashwin:
The floods are due primarily because of global warming and as such are a natural phenomenon. Anyhow,the topic at hand is the filing of a petition by an individual against three Pakistan cricket players, because of their role in spot fixing.Kudos to him, for his courage and conviction,now do you have the courage to file such a petition in your courts against the big name players and the big time officials, playing-in and managing that den of spot and match fixers-known as the IPL?
what a pity state of our nation... we blame everything on Indians. those three sinners admitted their guilt before the court and are convicted criminals, still we are blaming Indians... what a shame!!
@Ahmed Moeed
Two wrongs can not make one right...
@Ahmed Moeed:
Do you not cast your vote? If politicians are corrupt then kick them out by not voting them. If all of them are corrupt then either your judgment is wrong or 180 million people are corrupt. Let's not forget we have never punished these three crooks despite catching them red handed. The money they earned by cheating this country must be donated to charities and they must be banned for life time. To all their supporters if they are playing in a crunch match and throw away the match with bad performance how would you know it is not a deliberate act?
Fully agreed with the Petition. These three shouldn't be allowed to represent Pakistan at any form of cricket either domestic or International. This must be done in order to save the future of Pakistan cricket from corruption and by setting an example for our next generation of cricketers. The respect of our Nation and honor of Pakistan is above all individuals.
Great move. No convicted criminal should represent us in any field. These three woodworms will destroy Pakistan cricket forever.
@ashwin: it's none of your business who we forgive and who we don't.. you indians are a very nosey lot
@Usman: Dear Usman this discourses on ET teaches you tolerance, listening to other and may more things of which people are afraid off. This approach is sickening the best way to counter Indian is to answer them.
A Peshawary
The committed treason. Should be banned. Period.
@Usman. Sub ganda hai per dhanda hai ye. If ET stops hateful Indian comments from publishing, sooner or later there readership in India will go down and hence big bucks they receive from advertisements. We are Pakistanis, come on, we weigh money more than any sort of national interest :)
So the cure of every ill of Pakistan is crucifying the politicians and pushing them in front of a firing squad. Makes one wonder if such naysayers are actually on the payroll of ISPR.
I do not understand Pakistan people mind.. if politicians are not trialed or banned this means that no one in pakistan is to be banned and trialed?? Slowly the structure gets strength its not important that we fix the structure from upside down sometimes correction in needed from bottom to top. Why every student go to university? Sit home and say politicians get fake degrees so shall we.. Then what makes u different from the corrupt.. little efforts mount to big ones.. so do not try to pass out any law by saying politicians do not do Why should we..
Good move. They should be banned.
@Cricketer: @G M:
Sir i'm not defending them. But if we can see the bigger picture our politicians are doing exactly the same thing. They sold the whole country just for the sake of making money, and nobody files the petition against them. Instead we gave them the vote in every election. In our country i assured you that every single person is corrupt in some perspective. But we only put pressure on those who were already under fire. Just think are we doing the justice or not.
@ashwin: Half pakistan was drown in floods due you indian trolls, opening dam water in already flooded situation.
Good Job Lawyer!!
They sold the soul of nation and maligned the repute and integrity of Pakistan before whole world for few thousand pounds, they should not be allowed to represent the nation and the beloved country at any front. there is no dearth of talent in Pakistan and there will be many more honest and patriot Aamir's, we don't need this corrupt one, who brought shame and disgrace to the country. Bringing him back would encourage the corrupt lot.
These players should be banned for life; they don't deserve to represent Pakistan and disgrace the very game that they tarnished so unashamedly. Kudos to the petitioner for filing such petition. Instead they can try their luck to be inducted as "Sweepers" in PCB.
File a petition against Zardari, who got a verdict on corruption from a Swiss court.
The petitioner is probably looking to make some money by scaring Aamir.
Dear Petinoer You are nothing but a black mailer, looking for your part only...
Can the same be applied for politicians, why are they not banned but we keep voting for them. Aren't the politicians openly humiliating the whole country. Double standards, the poor kid has done his time - the blame lies with PCB as they failed Amir.
Please ban Indians on page giving hateful and inhumane comments or else ban your page if you cannot do it. You are the worst news agency ever , post mostly shameful news about Pakistan and gave free hands to all Indians to comment and troll , please change the admin and ban all indians , there should no indian admin of this page , if you cannot do that then ban your page i will tell all those pakistanis using this page to leave your facebook page thanks.
The petitioner said the ‘disgraced’ three should not be allowed to play for humiliating the nation at international level.This Happened when half of Pakistan was drowned in floods.....how can you guys forgive like that......really Pakistanis are naive lot.
Dear Petitioner!
Please file a petition against Corrupt politicians first.
