Mohammad Asif withdraws appeal against suspension By Rory Dollard, Press Association Sport Mohammad Asif, one of the three Pakistan cricketers at the centre of an International Cricket Council spot-fixing investigation, has withdrawn an appeal against his provisional suspension. Seam bowler Asif was provisionally suspended by the game's governing body alongside Test captain Salman Butt and new ball partner Mohammad Amir after the ICC initiated an investigation into newspaper allegations that the trio had acted in association with illegal bookmakers during their summer tour of England. All three took up the option of appealing their bans and their cases were due to be heard in Doha on October 30-31. Butt and Amir have not followed Asif's lead and their hearings will now continue as planned. http://www.sportinglife.com/cricket/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=cricket/10/10/22/CRICKET_Asif.html

some scumbags are smart. At least he will keep the money with out spending it on attroneys. Other two ! Oh well!

[CSK Fan]

He has just withdrawn his appeal against his suspension and not against the case. He knows he wouldnt have played in the UAE series anyways and his lawyer wanted more time.

its not your fault, the amount of circuses go on in PCB its hard to contract the good step taken by anyone, in this case its a an obvious and no harm decision to withdraw from the appeal.

Why would any sane person do that, if you are not guilty? If I am calling you a murderer, wouldn't you want your name cleared as soon as possible, irrespective of the fact that life is going on as usual for you?

The circus happens, yet ICC wont ban Pak from Intl cricket for a couple of years at least! Till they can prove that they have cleaned up their act.

[kabira]

well if 3 guys were suspended together, why one guy is opting out. Shouldn' t they show united front?

[Deleted_User_1]

When are the guys going to be get banned. It seems like ICC is investigating for ever. For heaven's sake, enough already!

[ravishingravi]

Well he is only asking for additional time. Either ways, this is the most conclusive evidence ever in the history of match/spot fixing in any sport. It is only a matter of time.

Butt and Asif are gone for long. Got a good feeling Amir won't get more than a year.....but then again...you are innocent until you are proven guilty.....now this thread will turn from laughs to anger. :haha:
