Pakistan’s Aamer back home after release

Disgraced Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Aamer returned home early on Sunday after his release from a British prison, an AFP reporter said. Aamer was one of three Pakistan players jailed by a judge in London in November over their roles in a plan to bowl deliberate no-balls during a Test against England at Lord’s in August 2010. The 19-year-old who is also serving a five-year ban imposed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), was released from Portland Prison in Dorset, south-west England on Feb. 1. Aamer arrived at Lahore airport from London at 4:35 am local time (2300 GMT) and headed straight for his home in the Defence Housing Authority neighbourhood without speaking to media, an AFP reporter said.
