LAHORE: Fast bowler Mohammad Aamer has appealed against the ICC ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Aamer had been banned for five years in spot fixing case by the ICC anti-corruption tribunal in Doha.

Talking with Geo News, Aamer told that he has sent an appeal against the ICC verdict, through his lawyer Shahid Karim to the Court of Arbitration for Sports and he hoped it would be received by the Court tomorrow.

Aamer said that this case would also be fought by Shahid Karim.

An International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption tribunal in Doha on February 5 handed out longer bans to former Pakistan captain Salman Butt, seamers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif for the roles they played in bowling deliberate no-balls during last year's Test against England at Lord's.

Aamer is the first player to appeal to the Arbitration Court for Sports against this verdict.
