Does deserve a warm welcome


Does deserve a warm welcome

The 29-year-old former Pakistan pace man Mohammad Asif, who  was jailed by a court in London in November last year, will be released from a British prison after completing half of his one-year sentence. He was found guilty of conspiring to cheat and conspiring to accept corrupt payments over deliberate no-balls bowled during the Lord's Test against England in August 2010.

Mohammad Asif.
Asif was considered as one of the fastest rising pace man at the international level and he had taken 106 wickets in 23 Tests. He also had 46 wickets in 36 one-day internationals.
It sounds like corruption, Spot Fixing, in world of cricket has been an on-going thing that was not aware of, and until David Moulson wrote about Spot Fixing. This turned out to be a major eye opener in sport of cricket.
Do you think that Mohammad Asif will be treated the same way after this whole saga?

  1. i don't follow cricket much, but it seems like he's a good player. He should be given another chance especially his country and im sure he has learned his lesson

  2. I don't think he should be allowed to play ever again and he does not deserve to be treated the same way. If he is allowed to play again, what message will the Pakistanian cricket association be sending out to people. IF he plays then it will be seem as if corruption and breibery in cricket is allowed, he should be made an example for those who are still doing what he was jailed for.

  3. surely he learned his lesson but that does not mean he should play again. i think there are a lot of things he can do in his field to gain the trust of the people again.

  4. I think that he should not be allowed to play again. These sport personalities think they rule the world especially when they are earning a lot of money. They should let him relax a bit and kinda evaluate hi,srlf a bit.

  5. Asif has betrayed his fans, fellow professionals, his sports and his country Pakistan. He has alot to do to regain the relationship he had with all these above mentioned departments.
