Mohammad Amir stopped at London airport: sources

LONDON: Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir was stopped by immigration officials at London’s Heathrow airport, sources said late Wednesday.

Amir arrived at the Heathrow airport along with his wife from Dubai.

Amir was questioned by the immigration officials, sources said and added he was allowed to leave after half an hour of detention.

The left arm fast bowler was banned in 2010 along with Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt for the infamous spot-fixing scandal.

On August 19, 2015, Amir was declared completely free to play all forms of cricket from September 2, 2015.

He made his return to international cricket on January 15 this year, in a Twenty20 match against New Zealand.
