Good news for PAKISTAN, cricket fans and  MOHAMMAD AAMIR

Mohammad Amir: ICC to decide next week on first-class return

Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir could return to first-class cricket next month after the conditions of his five-year ban for spot-fixing were relaxed.

Amir was jailed for six months for his part in a 2010 betting scam with team-mates Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif.

The International Cricket Council has now reviewed its anti-corruption code allowing banned players to play domestic cricket before their ban ends.

The ICC will decide next week when Amir, 22, can return to the game.

His five-year ban is set to expire in August this year.
