Like everyone I too want a second chance in life: Amir

 “Obviously it hurts. Not playing the game I love so much is even more frustrating and it is purely because of my own undoing that has made life miserable. My family has suffered a lot because of me and I just want to rectify the big mistake I made then,” Amir pledged. “People should not forget I was the only one to admit my guilt instantly while the others kept denying their role until their conscience made them plead guilty. I believe God always give you a second chance to rectify whatever wrong you do in life.

The ICC last June formed a sub-committee — headed by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Giles Clarke — to look into Amir's case which was put up by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the game's governing body to look at anti-corruption laws.

The caretaker PCB chief, Najam Sethi, and Subhan Ahmed, the chief operating officer, are now heading to London to attend an ICC Board meeting which is slated to take place on Thursday and will conclude on Saturday.During this meeting the PCB report on Amir would be one of the key items on the agenda that would be discussed at length.

“I am really grateful to Najam Sethi for taking up my case with the ICC. I don't have the words to offer my gratitude to Mr Sethi for taking so much interest,” said Amir

Amir  played in 14 Tests, 16 ODIs and 18 T20 Internationals from June 2009 in the 14-month period.
Billed as the greatest fast-bowling find in Pakistan since the legendary Wasim Akram in the mid 1980s, Amir confessed that the biggest lesson he had learnt from the scandal was to take extreme caution while making friends.
