Disgraced Butt begs for PCB help to end ban

Pakistan’s disgraced former captain Salman Butt said today he expected his country’s cricket board to help him get an early end to his ban for spot-fixing.

Butt was banned in September 2010 for a minimum of five years by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and jailed in Britain accepting money in return for deliberate no-balls in the 2010 Lord’s Test against England.
