Mohammad Amir Faces Renewed Criticism for Spot-Fixing Scandal

Mohammad Amir, the Pakistani pacer, has faced renewed criticism for his involvement in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal. Despite serving a five-year ban and expressing remorse, Amir's integrity has been questioned by fans and former players.

During the ongoing T20 World Cup in the Americas, a fan heckled Amir with the word "fixer" as he walked near the boundary line. The incident sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the fan's behavior.

Amir has previously expressed frustration over the continued criticism, stating that he has paid the price for his mistake. He has also defended his selection in the T20I side, citing his performances in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

"I have done penance for that big mistake," Amir said. "I have lost nine years of my career, but I accept it as God's will and I have moved on."

Amir's critics argue that his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal has tarnished his reputation and that he should not be representing Pakistan. However, others believe that Amir has served his punishment and deserves a second chance.

The incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the redemption of athletes who have been involved in scandals. While some believe that athletes should be forgiven for their past mistakes, others argue that their actions should have lasting consequences.
