Seeking the imposition of a lifetime ban on Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir, a petition has been submitted in the Sindh High Court on Monday, following the International Cricket Council's (ICC) decision to allow him to play domestic cricket.
The petition was put forth by a Pakistani citizen named Rana Faizul Hasan, who said that the players who had brought disgrace to the nation should not be permitted to play the sport, the Dawn reported.
Justice Muhammad Ali will head a division bench to hear the petition, with the next hearing scheduled to be held on February 16, the report added.
The petition names the Government of Pakistan, chairman PCB and Mohammad Amir as respondents.
Earlier in the week, the ICC had decided to allow the banned bowler to play in domestic matches under the auspices of the PCB with immediate effect.

Amir was handed a five year ban for his involvement in the infamous spot fixing scandal in a Test against England at Lord's in 2010, with the five-year ban is scheduled to expire on September 2 this year.
