The bans handed by the ICC following the ICC anti corruption hearing into the spot fixing charges brought against the three Pakistan cricketers has taken the young fast bowler by surprise. He is now contemplating taking matters to another level.
mohammad aamer appeals
Mohammad Aamer appeared devastated following the verdict where he was handed a five year ban on playing cricket. The youngest of the three cricketers did not expect punishment to that extent, judging by his reactions at the end of the hearing in Doha yesterday.
Aamer has been playing the innocent card all along and it seems clear that he and his lawyer hoped that even if the ICC viewed him as guilty of indulging in another disguised form of match fixing, his age at eighteen years would win him some sympathy. However, the five year ban caught Aamer by surprise and he is said to be extremely disappointed and shocked by the turn of events.
Aamer now plans to take the appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland and he will have twenty-one days time to decide if he will do so after consultations with his family and his lawyer who even wanted to appeal to the ICC tribunal to show leniency in the case of Aamer given his previous unblemished record and his youth. But the British's Crown Prosecution Service may have played a hand in the verdict, although the two investigations were carried out parallel according to the ICC.
Aamer was apparently hit the hardest given that he had hoped that the wave of sympathy would work in his favour. Given the speculation that since he was the youngest of the lot and not the most educated, the reasons for allegedly involving himself could be his naivety, compulsion of the captain and or the sudden lure of money suggested that Aamer needed re-education of the rules of playing international sport. But a ban was something he was not expecting even though it was the popular conjecture given the seriousness of the crime, irrespective of the reasons behind it.
