It is a dark day for cricket.
It is hard for the lover of cricket to avoid feeling uneasy upon hearing of the match-fixing allegations leveled at Pakistani players this past weekend. The saddest thing for me is that one of the players at the centre of this scandal is 18 year old fast-bowler, Mohammad Amir. He is such a talented young cricketer, it would be a huge loss to the cricketing world if he were found guilty – and thus far things do not look good.
Why is it that Pakistan cricket continually stumbles from one controversy to another?
This is tragic from a country that has contributed so many great cricketers and done so much to enrich the sport.
Let’s hope, for the sake of the gentleman’s game, that this all blows over. And if not, let’s hope that the issue is dealt with once and for all.
