PCB advise Amir to follow instructions of team managment

After five years ban because of spot-fixing Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir is ready to fly with the team to England tour. It came to know that UK authorities confirmed the issuance of the visa for Aamir. Though, Pakistan Cricket Board said Amir to be on his best behaviour on the tour to England. An official said that PCB advised Amir to follow every instruction of the team management, anti-corruption, and the security manager.

PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan met with the youngster in the office in Lahore. “During the meeting Aamir was told in clear terms that he will have to follow each instruction given to him by the team management and anti-corruption and security manager in England and totally avoid the media unless permitted by the manager,” an official told.

Few Pakistan players were not happy with Aamir’s attitude during the boot camp in Kakul and in the camp held in Lahore. “Aamir has now been told that he also needs to take the initiative to make his teammates comfortable and ensure the dressing room atmosphere is not spoilt on the tour,” he added.

Salman Butt and Muhammad Asif were other two players who found guilty of spot-fixing when Pakistan toured England in 2010. PCB had to use various channels to convince the England and Wales Cricket Board and UK High Commission in Islamabad to get a visa issued for Aamir.
