Karachi: Banned pace bowler, Mohammad Amir is keeping his fingers crossed. Some three years back he remembers coming out of an ICC hearing in Dubai holding back tears after being told by the anti-corruption unit he was banned for a minimum of five years from playing any cricket for spot fixing.

"I thought what have I done, my life is finished. How will I face my family or the world now," Amir recalled while talking to mid-day yesterday just hours after the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Najam Sethi announced at a press conference he was confident the youngster could be playing first class cricket later this year.
