Mohammad Amir cleared to make Pakistan return

The Pakistan Cricket Board announce that Mohammad Amir is available to play for his country again following a five-year ban for his involvement in match-fixing.

Mohammad Amir has been cleared to play international cricket for Pakistan again following his involvement in a match-fixing scandal five years ago.

The left-arm fast bowler was found guilty of deliberately bowling no-balls during Pakistan's tour of England in 2010, resulting in a prison sentence and five-year ban from the sport.

The 23-year-old has already returned to competitive domestic cricket, but he is now "eligible" to feature for his country again, should the selectors call upon him.

"After serving his sentence the ICC allowed Amir to resume his cricket career at all levels. Nevertheless, PCB insisted on Amir going through a further rehabilitation programme for six months," read a statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board.

"Amir completed this programme which comprised lectures to junior teams warning them against corruption, sessions with psychologists and with senior players. During this period Amir was allowed to play Grade-II cricket.

"After serving his six-month probation, Amir has been participating in domestic first-class cricket with success. He has also performed well in the BPL. Accordingly, Amir has been called to the fitness camp which will enable him to bond with national players. His selection for the national team, for which he is eligible, would depend on the selectors."

Amir made 14 Test appearances for his country before his ban.
