Former Pakistan opening batter Nasir Jamshed expressed regret over his role in the spot-fixing controversy in 2017 and issued an apology for his mistake.
Jamshed is currently serving a 10-year cricket ban, slapped by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in 2018 for his involvement in the spot-fixing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as well as the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in 2017.
He later pleaded guilty to his role in the spot-fixing conspiracy in February 2020 and was subsequently sentenced to 17 months in jail in the UK.
However, he recently took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to apologize for his wrongdoings.
The left-handed cricketer shared a video of himself bowling to his daughter and expressed regret over his tarnished career.
“I won’t forgive myself for what I did with my career,” Jamshed posted. “I am truly sorry, but I will try to pass my talent on to my daughter and give her the best chance.”
