Re: Salman Butt wants Najam Sethi to care for him too - lol
I agree, people are treating him like a baby. He knew exactly what he was doing. ICC let him off, but that doesn’t mean Pakistan has to embrace him with open arms. The onus is really on Pakistan to make example out of these players to send a clear message to the next generations of Pakistani cricketers. Don’t turn into an issue of ego, interests and selflessness. An honest, committed and rigorous talent hunt will produce many more Amirs and Asif, there was cricket before Amir and there will be cricket after him as well. Can we just stop using ‘talent’ as an as excuse to forgive and forget every little crap in the dressing room and field to the biggest crime in sports?
A criminal record of any sort can easily kill all your chances of securing most ordinary clerical job with minimum wage, I see no reason why these globally disgraced criminal should be given another chance to represent the country on the highest level. Pakistan cricket might just slightly improve if all these players start treating playing international cricket privileged and honour, not as they damned right! Don’t bring ICC into it, it’s about Pakistan cricket. Out cricket has been haunted by match fixing controversies for so long to go back to its shadows by having him in the team.
