A video of Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Aamer talking to former England captain Michael Atherton in an interview after being released from UK jail. Aamer was serving a prison sentence for being involved in spot fixing scam two years ago in a Test match against England.

 

Aamer, in his first interview since being released from a British prison, this week accused Butt of trapping him into the spot-fixing scandal at the Lord's Test against England in August 2010.

 

Butt and fellow team mate Mohammad Asif are serving sentences of 30 and 12 months respectively, after a British court in November found the trio guilty of corruption and receiving illegal money.

 

The charges were related to deliberate no-balls bowled by Asif and Aamer, but allegedly contrived by Butt in association with agent Mazhar Majeed, also sentenced for 32 months.

 

The three players were also banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for a minimum of five years each.
