PCB to tightly regulate Asif and Butt's return

The PCB is set to chalk out a rehabilitation programme for Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif, as part of their reintegration into the cricketing community. The two, whose ban for spot-fixing lifts on September 2, will be required to take part in an anti-corruption educational programme, have sessions with a psychologist, and ply their trade in grade cricket for a start. ESPNcricinfo has learnt that the PCB will make the programme public later this week.

The Pakistan board has accepted the ICC's decision to lift the ban imposed on Asif and Butt at the earliest possible, but they will not be allowed to take part in the domestic T20 cup in Rawalpindi next month, it said. Instead, they will have to start at the bottom and prove their form and fitness before making it to higher levels of the game.

As part of the educational programme, the pair will have to visit all domestic regions, across four provinces, and spread awareness on corruption issues. They will lecture the players, coaches, and officials at the domestic level on anti-corruption.

They will be watched very closely

The guys havent even started their rehab schedule with the PCB yet English counties are looking to snap them up - pathetic.

Well I hope they learn their lessons and that other players will not think of doing spot fixing again because the embarrassment is not worth the few thousand dollars.
