Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aameer will have to undergo a six months rehabilitation program before they return to Pakistan team. These three former cricketers were serving a five-year ban which ends on September 1. The three players can play division two and club cricket after their ban ends but will still have to wait before they play first cricket. The rehabilitation programme ends on February 28′ 2016. The cricketers are serving the five-year ban for spot-fixing during a Test match in which the two pace bowlers delivered no-balls on purpose. The match was captained by opening batsman Salman Butt.

In a conversation with New Indian Express PCB chairperson Shaharyar Khan said, “Having considered all these factors we have come up with an action plan that will ensure a smooth and gradual induction of these players into cricket. The [three] players should have an apologetic attitude toward their fellow players, selectors and other stakeholders as a sign of sincere remorse.” During the rehabilitation course the three players will work along with PCB’s vigilance and anti-corruption department. This will start from second September. ALSO READ: PCB accept confession statement from Salman Butt
