The Afridi statement led the former Pakistani captain Salman Butt in jail terms and five year ban from the international cricket along with other two players Muhammed Asif and Muhammed Aamir.

“I think he was upset and in a shock over the captaincy issue and, that is why he gave the statement against me. I have never indulged in any match or spot fixing, and, I never gave any instructions to Aamir to bowl the no-ball during the Lord’s Test against England,” Butt quoted as saying.

“I also wanted to appeal my case with the International Court of Arbitration for Sports in Switzerland, but the Pakistan Cricket Board didn’t support me at all,” he added.
