Should M Asif be allowed to play international cricket again?

There is no doubt that Amir deserves another chance but i am not so sure about M Asif

He has made too many mistakes for mine and really shouldn't play for Pakistan again. After the 5 year ban he should only be allowed to play domestic cricket.

Both should be banned for life.

I vote no.

The drug cheating spot fixer? Yeah, why not.

Heck, let's resurrect the remnants of Jimmy Savile lock him in at a primary school.

Why should domestic cricketers be exposed to the drug abusing cheat?

He should be allowed to make a living after the 5 year ban and the jail time. Playing for Pakistan on the other hand is a different question.

Don't think he should play for Pakistan even if he is the best bowler but TBH with the kind of pace bowling talent that comes out of Pakistan i don't think a 30+ year old M Asif will be too important.

I disagree, PP. Obviously he is allowed to make a living, but I fail to see why he should be allowed to make a living out of cricket, a sport he well and truly b*ggered, and not just that one time he was actually convicted.

Just like pedophiles have a right to make a living, only not in any activity that has anything to do with children.

Of course he can play test cricket again.....................the day after hell freezes over.

I see he's finally confessed (he wasn't very FAST in that area).

Simple answer?

No.

I saw that a couple of days ago and meant to post.

Likewise, was surprised it hadn't turned up here somewhere.

If the pakpassion transcript is accurate, love how he uses "it was a lot of money" as a rebuttal to a statement about his fixing.

And Darren Stevens seems to be in the shit, a bit, too.

Looks like it. He's 37, so any sort of ban will probably finish his career. No sympathy really, he knew the rules, ignorance is no excuse.
