Disgraced former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif said yesterday his appeal against a seven-year ban for spot-fixing will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in February
The 29-year-old was jailed by a British court in November last year after being found guilty of corruption charges over deliberate no-balls during the Lord’s Test against England in August 2010. Teammates Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir were also jailed in the same case. All three were freed earlier this year.

My appeal against the ICC ban will be heard in February next year and I hope that I will getu00a0justice,” said Asif.
