Former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt who served a ban for a spot-fixing scandal that broke out during his teams tour of England in 2010 has said that players who have served bans should be treated equally and not discriminated against.

"As per the law that exists, players should be treated equally. Punishment implies that once you have served the time, you should be treated like any other player. I try not to get into this issue but I want to ask people who are talking about this whole episode.
