Pakistan associate manager Shafqat Rana said on Monday that young quick Mohammad Aamer’s age should have no influence on any
Feasible punishment if spot-fixing statements against the 18-year-old were proved.
“I believe it should be the very same with everybody, if he breaks the law,” Rana told journalists at Sophia Gardens here on Monday where Pakistan play the second of two Twenty20 internationals against England on Tuesday.
Rana, asked “even if he (Aamer) is so young?”, replied: “It makes no difference.
“They (cricket fans in Pakistan) want everything in the best spirit of the game.”
His remarks came just a day after International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Lorgat said: “In my own honest personal view, yes I would think age would come into account in these matters.
“But that is something the impartial tribunal will have to decide upon.”
Meanwhile Rana also welcomed a reported probe into players’ finances by the Pakistani tax authorities.
“I believe it is a good thing from the Pakistan government. It was there in their (the government’s) head before we came over. I think it’s a good thing, it will open things out so they (the players) will be very watchful.”
Shahid Afridi, Pakistan’s one-day captain, added: “It should be done and it’s good for cricket.”
The two teams met again in the first Twenty20 international here on Sunday, which World Twenty20 champions England won by five wickets.
