Lahore: The father of banned Pakistan pacer Muhammad Asif, has said that he is desperately waiting for the release of his son from UK prison.
Asif, who is spending one year jail sentence in UK jail in spot-fixing case, is expected to be released on Thursday.
His father, while talking to our source, said that he had prayed a lot for his son’s release and return. “I hope that Asif will return Pakistan soon and resume his cricket,” he added.
Ravi Gill,Asif’s lawyer, told reporters in London on Wednesday that his client would be released in early hours of Thursday, adding that Asif had also decided to appeal against his conviction.
Aamir, the youngest of the three, returned home in March after completing a six months jail term in a youth detention centre in the UK and he has also decided against appealing against the five year ban imposed on him by the ICC.
Asif, 29, who took 106 wickets in 23 tests and another 36 wickets in 48 one-day internationals, was jailed for 12 months by the crown court while Butt was given a 30-month sentence.
