Midway through 2012, Aamer was part of a massive investigation into spot fixing. He was accused of, and ultimately found guilty of, conspiracy charges for bowling two-deliberate no-balls during the national team’s 2010 tour of England. During the investigation, Aamer’s deal with kit supplier BoomBoom Cricket was suspended. After being convicted by the International Cricket Council at the end of 2011, Aamer appealed his six-month prison sentence, though his petition was dismissed. He spent three months behind bars before his release, and is in the midst of a five-year ban from the sport.
