The 30-year old fast bowler, who is serving a seven year ban (two of them suspended) for spot-fixing, met with PCB officials and its anti-corruption unit yesterday in Lahore. A PCB official confirmed that Asif had given a written apology and consented to cooperate with all inquiries.u00a0

"He also said that he is ready to undergo all education and rehabilitation programs set for him by the PCB and ICC in order to show his intent to reform," the official said. Asif had last week confessed for the first time about his involvement in spot-fixing during the infamous fourth Test against England at Lord's in 2010. Asif, former skipper Salman Butt and Mohammad Aamir were all banned by the ICC in early 2011 after being found guilty of spot-fixing on the 2010 tour to England. The trio later also served different jail sentences in the United Kingdom after being found guilty of cheating and corruption by a crown court.
