We've discussed it before, and I suggested Amir might not be allowed in the country legally, but I think Sussex suggested that wouldn't be the case (I remember something about team visas...). But that would be the only reason why Amir wouldn't play in the UK. I doubt the ECB will be allowed to tell Pakistan who to pick.
I always say that everybody's right.

Sorry, I hadn't turned the page when I posted.

I've been banging on about this since the spot fix, but journalists seem not to have considered this point. Maybe that' because it's no an issue, and he would be able to come here.

Voted no, by the way.

There is a specific sports person visa in the UK, for anyone sentenced to under 12 months (Amir was 6) there is a 5 year automatic non-approval for a visa from the incident in question, but this summer that time frame passes. He should therefore be considered as a normal applicant.
