Butt, captain in the infamous Lord’s Test, appeared on the ARY news channel during Pakistan’s win over India in a warm-up match, while Amir made an appearance on Express News the same day. ARY ran promos with Butt with the tagline: “Stopped from playing, but not from speaking.” The ICC have not yet reacted to the new TV roles.
