LAHORE: Mohammad Amir will not be eligible to play in next year's Wold Cup even if he returns early to domestic cricket, said by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Aamer was 18 when the spot-fixing scandal broke out while Pakistan was touring England in August, 2010 which eventually led to the imposition of bans on Amir and his senior teammates — Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif.
PCB has pleaded with the ICC to review the five year ban on the pacer on the basis of his age factor.
Chief operating officer, Subhan Ahmed told media that PCB was not hopeful about the International Cricket Council (ICC) clearing the pacer to play international cricket until he completed his five-year ban, which would end around August 2015.
“What we have tried to convince the ICC to do is to allow him to be back into domestic cricket by reviewing his ban period so that he is ready when the times comes for him to play international cricket,” Ahmad said.
