At last Muhammad Asif, Salman Butt and Amir were sentenced and imprisoned in UK. Doubtless they committed crimes and threw no balls but has anybody considered that various Pakistani cricketers were already involved in match fixing in the past?
The ex-cricketers of the Pakistani team intentionally lost matches in their time, surely their crimes were bigger than the three cricketers, but were they sentenced like the three cricketers? I believe not! Not only Pakistani cricketers but many of the other cricketers from various teams were involved in match fixing, but they are living freely in their countries.
It is very amusing that Pakistani politicians even the ex-captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team, Imran Khan did not cooperate with the three cricketers but castigated the players saying that "as you sow, so shall you reap". The Raymond Davis case is in front of us. Although he was a terrorist, the US government successfully took him to America saying that Davis would be prosecuted under US law. Did the US government sentence him? When other countries can prefer their own laws, so why can't Pakistan? Where are we heading?
