Karachi: International Cricket Council (ICC) has sought the Pakistan Cricket Board (ICC)’s response over reports that Muhammad Amir played a domestic club match despite being suspended from all forms of cricket by the ICC, news agencies reported.
The 18-year-old Aamer, along with Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif, was suspended over allegations of spot-fixing during Pakistan’s tour of England last year.
Media reports in Pakistan said Aamer played in a domestic club match for Pakistan Army against Rawalpindi that comes under the umbrella of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
“The ICC wrote to the Pakistan Cricket Board on the matter on Tuesday,” an ICC spokesman confirmed to a foreign news agency from its headquarters in Dubai.
A PCB spokesman confirmed they were investigating the issue.
“Yes, we have come to the knowledge of Aamer playing a match in Rawalpindi and we are investigating the matter,” PCB spokesman Nadeem Sarwar told the media.
