'Banned' Aamer pleads guilty to spot-fixing


NEW DELHI: Tainted Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Aamer has pleaded guilty to spot-fixing in a London court.

The International Cricket Council ( ICC) had previously banned Aamer from all forms of cricket for a period of five years.

During Pakistan's tour of England in 2010, British tabloid 'News of the World' accused then-captain Salman Butt, fast-bowler Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer of spot-fixing.

'News of the World' alleged they bowled no-balls at pre-arranged times during August's fourth Test at Lord's.

The alleged bookie Mazhar Majeed has also confessed to spot-fixing during the hearing in a London court.
