While he was dropped after the World Cup because of poor form, the PCB also had suspicions about his integrity after the spot-fixing scandal saw three Pakistan players – Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamir – first banned and then jailed for their role in it. “Kamran has now also been cleared on the integrity form, and given that he has regularly been playing domestic cricket and performing pretty consistently, he is now in line to be considered for the one ODI and one Twenty20 against Bangladesh later this month in Lahore,” the source confirmed. The source said the move to get Kamran cleared and bring him back to the Pakistan team had begun when Pakistan were playing the one-day series against England in the UAE. “Even former coach Mohsin Khan, in a meeting with the PCB chairman and captain Misbahul Haq, had pleaded that the national team could still make a lot of use of the experience and skills of Kamran,” the source said. Kamran recently also played in the Bangladesh Premier League and performed well for the Sylhet team. He also captained the team in the last few matches.
End.
