Aamer in Pakistan cricket training squad

Disgraced young fast bowler Mohammad Aamer has moved closer to international re-integration after being included in a Pakistan training and fitness squad.

Paceman Mohammad Aamer has taken another step towards international re-integration following a ban for match-fixing after being included in a Pakistan training and fitness squad.

Aamer, former test captain Salman Butt and seam bowler Mohammad Asif served jail sentences in Britain after being found guilty in 2011 of various offences of corrupt behaviour.

The three were cleared to return to the sport by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in September after serving suspensions.

Left-armer Aamer, 23, is one of 26 players named for the fitness camp to run from December 21-January 7 in Lahore, said the Pakistan Cricket Board.

"I am thankful to my fans, family and my friends who always support me and encourage me," said Aamer on his Twitter account. "Will try my best to give 100 per cent to my country".
