LONDON: England’s stylish and premier batsman Kevin Pietersen has opposed disgraced Pakisatni fast Bowler Mohammad Amir’s return to International Cricket.
According to details, KP said that Amir should not be welcomed back into international cricket and should have been excluded from the game for life for his involvement in spot-fixing.
Pietersen has become the first England player involved in the 2010 Lord’s Test, which ended in uproar with newspaper revelations about the scam, to state openly that all players involved in the spot-fixing should never play cricket again.
His comments are made in Kevin Pietersen on Cricket, a follow-up to his controversial autobiography a year ago which railed against his removal from the England team.
“I know Mohammad Amir was only 18 when he got into trouble, and that he was a special talent,” Pietersen says. “I also know that he and Mohammad Asif were from poor backgrounds and were offered a hell of a lot of money for a few seconds’ work.
“But I don’t care; they should not be coming back. I don’t feel badly towards them and I wish them well in their lives, but the game is bigger than us, the game will be around a lot longer than us, and we don’t have the right to steal from it.
“We play fairly, we play tough, we play positively, we play negatively, people play the way that they want to play. But there’s no place in the game for corruption, and if you get caught you have to be given a life ban.”
