A petition was filed in the Sindh High Court (SHC) seeking a lifetime ban on the spot-fixing trio of Muhammad Amir, Muhammad Asif and Salman Butt.
The request comes just days after the International Cricket Council eased restrictions on left-armer Amir, allowing him to return to domestic cricket before his ban officially ends later this year.
Former Pakistan captain Butt was banned for 10 years, and the fast-bowling pair of Asif and Amir for seven years and five years respectively in 2011 after being found guilty of deliberately bowling no balls in the Lord’s Test match played between Pakistan and England from August 26 to 29, 2010.
