Back from Disgrace
Mohammad Amir looked on course to develop into the next great Pakistani bowler when he became the youngest player ever to take 50 test wickets but his involvement in a spot fixing scandal in 2010 resulted in him being banned from the sport for five years.
His sentence for deliberately bowling no balls as part of a gambling arrangement was reduced earlier this year and although he won't be able to play international cricket until later this year, he has now returned to the domestic game.
Amir took three wickets for the Omar Associates team on his return to cricket.
