Addressing a news conference, Butt apologised for disgracing the nation and urged youngsters to keep away from corrupt elements and concentrate on the game of cricket.
“I also accept the ban imposed on me by the ICC tribunal,” Butt said as he appealed for the cricket council to allow him and others accused to play on the domestic level to be ready for selection when their ban is lifted.
Salman Butt added that he had informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about his availability and
willingness to undertake the rehabilitation programme.
Butt received a ten year ban for his role in the spot-fixing scandal, five years of which were suspended.
The former Pakistan captain along with fast bowlers Muhamamd Asif and Muhammad Aamer were convicted for their involvement in bowling deliberate no-balls during a test match against England at Lords in 2010. (agencies)
