Former Pakistan bowler Mohammad Asif talked about his mistakes, regrets and hopes for the future and said that he sought inspiration from the life of Nelson Mandela during his time in prison in England.
According to Telegraph, Mohammad Asif sought inspiration from Nelson Mandela and moved to Norway to rebuild his life following six months in a British prison cell but now the invisible man of the Pakistan spot fixing scandal is back and dreaming of bowling at Lord’s again.
It was a ‘huge mistake’ that cost him his liberty and has left him apologizing to the Pakistan nation. Speaking to Telegraph Sport from his home in Lahore, Asif has promised to act as a counselor for young cricketers, warning the next generation not to repeat his errors.
Recently, The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) five-year bans on former Pakistan pace bowler Mohammad Asif ends on Wednesday. He will be under strict monitoring for months before being allowed to play international cricket again.
Mohammad Asif was exposed for spot-fixing during the fourth Test against England at Lords in August 2010. Asif has played 23 Tests and 38 ODIs for Pakistan.
