London: Former captain Salman Butt and and fast bowler Mohammad Asif, who had leveled serious allegations on each other during the spot-fixing trial, are reportedly sharing the same cell at the Wandsworth prison.
The two tried to lay the blame on each other during the trial, which concluded with Butt being jailed for two and a half years while Asif getting a one-year sentence.
They had no choice, it’s the prison authorities who make the call. The batsman and the bowler remain together but with no room for a run-up let alone room to overstep the mark,” a prison source was quoted as saying by The Daily Mail.
According to a report, Asif could be moved to an open prison. His friend disclosed that the fast bowler is likely to be shifted by the end of next week. An open prison will allow him more freedom and privileges.
