@SID_NY

See thats exactly why I opposed Amir’s inclusion in the begining cuz I saw this coming. I knew people will raise the same for two others too. Now honestly give me one good reason "by principle (not emotional) that one can be returned and others not. Just FYI, Amir didnt accept the charge right away either. It took many days, investigation and grilling afterwhich he accepted, much earlier than the rest ofcourse.
If you say he is young, then its really going against the logic cuz it should be the fitness level in cricket. If you talk about performance and other issues, I’m sure they’ll do something to become eligible to atleast be in A team.
The only option would have, had the board got the guts to announce that anyone who brings a shame to country will not be given a chance to represent its final eleven. Just like Saleem malik, Danesh kaneria etc.

The first sentence shoukd read “supported” instead of “opposed”. Delete the last para, and you are good to go.

It is a game. Young people make mistakes. Sometimes old ones do too. Once a person does his time, don’t take away his livelihood.

Let us not hold cricketers to a standard that most if us can’t live up to.
