The ICC has approved changes to its anti-corruption code which will allow banned players to return to domestic cricket before the end of their penalty if they meet certain criteria. ICC chairman N Srinivasan said: The revised Code makes provision for a banned player to gain an early return to domestic cricket in certain circumstances, When exercising his discretionary powers in this regard, however, the Chairman of the ACSU will consider a number of factors, including the level of remorse shown by the player, his/her cooperation with the ACSUs education programme and/or if the player has helped the ACSU by disclosing all information that, in turn, has helped it to enforce the Anti-Corruption Code in respect of others engaged in corruption conduct. They are currently most relevant to the Pakistan trio of Mohammad Amir, Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif who were banned for their parts in 2010 spot-fixing case at Lords. However, of the three only Amir, who is currently 22, appears to have a decent chance of being allowed to return before his ban ends in September 2015. (Rmra)
