In a shocking revelation, Mohammad Aamir has informed the Pakistan Cricket Board, PCB that he was lured and dragged into spot fixing by suspended Test skipper Salman Butt. The young left-arm pacer is presently serving suspension by the ICC for his alleged involvement in spot fixing during the fourth Test against England at Lord's last month, along with Butt and Mohammad Asif. Sources in the PCB said that Aamir told Chairman Ijaz Butt that he never wanted to be part of spot fixing but was forced into it by Butt and Asif. Aamir had gone to Butt and claimed he was innocent and a victim of the "seniors power lobby" in the team. Another source revealed that Aamir, regarded as one of Pakistan cricket's most promising young talent, had told manager Yawar Saeed about the pressure being exerted on him by Butt.
