April 16, 2015 10:16

The PCB is planning to plead the case of banned cricketer Salman Butt with the International Cricket Council. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan said in an interview that the former test captain, who is serving a five-year ban for spot fixing, had shown willingness to meet all the requirements before the board can plead his case with the ICC for some relaxation.

"In our recent communication with him, Butt appears to have learnt his lesson and his admission of guilt is in line with the ICC protocol on rehabilitation of 'corrupt' players."

Khan also said that he had clearly told Butt that after admitting his guilt, he has to take part in corrective education and inform the public of the perils of match-fixing as laid down by the ICC protocols.
