Pakistan's former banned captain Salman Butt has finally confessed his unconditional participation in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal and has submitted a written apology to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). PCB has released Butt's signed statement in which he has accepted 'being a part to the bowling of two deliberate no-balls in the Lord's Test match against England', Sport24 reported.
The left-arm opener had been banned along with fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir for their infamous role in a spot-fixing scandal by the International Cricket Council. Butt said that he was ready to undergo rehabilitation under the supervision of the PCB. Earlier this year, under the ICC's revised anti-corruption code, ICC had allowed Amir to return to domestic cricket before the end of his five-year ban, which has raised hopes for the other two to receive the same reprieve.
