KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board will conduct a rehabilitation programme for fast bowler Mohammad Amir under the anti-corruption code, an official said on Friday.
Amir, 19, was released from a British prison on Wednesday after serving half of his six-month sentence for his part in a spot-fixing scandal.
Pakistan Cricket Board legal adviser Taffazul Rizvi said Amir's rehabilitation programme would begin soon.
"Under the ICC anti-corruption code a convicted player undergoes an official education session to the reasonable satisfaction of ACSU programme during his period of ineligibility, in Amir's case it is five years," Rizvi told AFP.
"Further Amir has to agree to such additional reasonable and proportionate monitoring procedures and requirements as the ACSU may reasonably consider necessary."
"PCB and ICC are on the same page in this matter and are already in contact over the official anti-corruption education session," Rizvi added.
Since the spot-fixing scandal, the PCB has introduced stricter clauses in players' contracts in a bid to clamp down on malpractice in the game, and it has established its own anti-corruption unit.
