So, Mohammed Amir is back in Test Cricket after his conviction for
spot-fixing in matches.
His 5 year ban is now completed and he has been to
prison.
Should he be allowed to continue his career? This is a huge
question and one which has divided cricket.
That he was young at the time of the offences must have some
significance but is not enough on its own to justify his return.
BUT, that he was young and pushed into this misconduct by
players senior to himself just about permits his return.
I do wish him well but I
shall always want to see harsh sentences for such crimes.
