Re: Aamir to be removed from ICC Awards nominations list

@GoldenAsif

The trial begins in 12 days from today and I expect a swift verdict of ‘gulity’ or ‘not guilty’ (wishful) here - within a day or two
The awards are still some 4.5 weeks away…Right!

which would have still given ICC two weeks or so to drop Aamer’s name from the list if found guilty

It is like announcing an election result once a candidate has secured 50% of the votes before counting has even been completed in a constituency

My Q is: What’s the hurry here? Why be so impatient?

let me ask you back a question. ICC said that they will wait for police to finish their investigation and ASCU to compile their report before deciding if an action needs to be taken. But, then two days later they suspended the trio without waiting for police or the ASCU to finish their tasks.

What was the hurry there? They could have waited till Friday evening when police completed their investigations and gave their report. In my opinion ICC messed it up at that moment creating doubts in the minds of people that it was not a simple case of ICC excercising their right to suspend these players but probably they crumbled under pressure from ECB, media etc.

However, once they suspended them it seriously looks odd to have Aamir on the nominations list. How would sponsors of the ICC award (I think it is LG) would think when advertizing for the event on the TV, lets suppose in the next few, that they need to show Aamir as well among other nominees?

Anyway, read my first post. If Aamir is proven not guilty, ICC must make sure that he is back on that list on time.
