Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has agreed to undergo rehabilitation while serving his ban for spot-fixing because he wants to resume his cricketing career once the suspension ends.
The 28-year-old was banned for 10 years, with five of those suspended, by an International Cricket Council (ICC) tribunal in 2011 after being found guilty of arranging deliberate no-balls to be delivered in a 2010 Lord's test against England.
Butt and team mates Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir also served jail terms in England following the "cash for no-balls" scandal.
