adminAsif’s legal team told the Press Association they have also filed an appeal against his criminal conviction to the Court of Appeal.
Asif, former Test skipper Salman Butt and fellow seamer Mohammad Amir were all suspended by the International Cricket Council last February after no-balls were bowled in the Lord’s Test against England in August 2010.
London-based SJS Solicitors claim they have solid grounds for appeal.
“The appeal filed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the ICC ban is founded upon multiple grounds that include the argument that the ICC Disciplinary Tribunal breached its own procedures, and in other ways infringed fundamental human rights to which Mohammad Asif is entitled. In such a situation the ICC ban is not only flawed, it could also be unlawful.” – AFP.
