Breaking news: Disgraced former Pakistan captain Salman Butt released from jail from Geo

[khalil1986]

That was quick, watch the shameless git still insist he was innocent.

[dhump]

I am happy for his wife, children's and family it was hard times for them.

[LegCutter]

I loved how the first word was 'Disgraced'

[Shayan]

Hi sentence was 2.5 years, yet he's out after 7 months? Even on good behaviour that seems far too short.

Yes, it should have been atleast one complete year. Anyway, I think he's learned his lesson

[Statsman]

"I hope he makes an entry back to the team. Like everyone, he too deserves another chance!"

[pakistanalltheway]

When's Athers interviewing him ?

[Asif321]

why this guy is left out before the actual sentence he hasnt even passed half of it

Sorry?

[style_guru]

Who's distributing Mithai today?

[Bullet Drive]

So he went in for only 7 months? That's not even half of his jail sentence.

Anyway I do think the sentences were a bit harsh and I think he's learnt his lesson. I would welcome all cricketers back after they have served there ban but I wouldn't bring back Salman(talent wise). Mohammed Asif & Mohammed Amir are the two I'd still welcome back after their bans have been served.

If anything, Asif's the one that we should be completely against coming back. The guy has had so many chances and has repeatedly screwed up.

It could be argued (not by me) that this was Butt's first and only offence so should be considered for selection once his ban finishes.

[Namak_Halaal]

Nothing on BBC etc?

[Shayan]

I think he may be getting released on Friday

He committed a major crime against every person of his nation, people like him should never even be allowed to speak about cricket let alone play it. He is the person who started all this, he was the mastermind of a major crime with Pakistan cricket and Pakistan nation and should never be forgiven.

I don't think so.

Being banned/fined for recreational or even performance-enhancing drugs is not the same as selling your country out.

[Pk-zindabaad]

disgraceful, he should be left there. WHy? because he still thinks he's innocent!!!!!!!!!!! At least M. Amir had the capability to apologise to the whole nation, this guy didnt!!!!

[Shayan]

I agree, which is why I'm not too keen on Amir coming back either.

[Blistering Barnacle]

It will be interesting to see whether he spills any beans or continues to insist he is innocent.

[Blistering Barnacle]

I agree. I'm not keen on Amir's return. Imo he was lying through his teeth much of the time in the interview with Atherton - who by the way never asked him any challenging questions.

[Shayan]

I think Athers made it quite clear that the interview was simply a way for Amir to tell his side of the story. The decision of whether or not to believe it was left up to us.

shameful....

I don't think that was clear at all. It was an interview, with questions posed by Atherton, not a monologue by Amir.

And he never asked the difficult questions.

Will be interesting to see what Butt has to say about Aamir's comments.

[Stewie]

The guy should seriously come back quietly and start exploring options other than cricket to make an honest and respectable living. Thats the only way to redemption for him.

If he continues to fight a hopeless battle in order to return by giving statements in the media that he was framed or lodging appeals left and right, he is only going to stir up more trouble for everyone.

[MenInG]

Pls see following Tweets from @Saj_PakPassion to clarify

Salman Butt & Mohammad Asif were both given the option to sign deportation papers in their first few days at Canterbury prison #spotfixing Asif declined signing the papers but Salman Butt signed the deportation papers which mean he'll only serve 25% of his sentence Butt's sentence being reduced due to good behaviour is not accurate. Also I'm led to believe Butt is already at the immigration centre

[Asif321]

clearly signing papers means salman knows he is finished
while asif still believes he can fight for his cause

[w8in_4_0402]

i am quite happy for salman butt. 2 years would have been far too much.

good he is out and can go back to his family.

For those asking about Athers, he's explained himself in the comments to the blog

As for Salman, come on, is he better than Taufeeq, Jamshed, Azhar or even Farhat?
Farhat averages more in tests than Butt, I mean, come on.

you can tell who his family memebers are, No sane pakistani would write that.

John Terry and Harry Redknapp did the same thing to be fair. It worked out better for them for reasons which we don't need to go into.

[truthseer]

If he does say he's innocent, please tell me he can be charged for contempt of court when he pleaded guilty?

[Runner Up]

Has he returned to Pakistan or still in UK?

[786warrior]

If this lowlife crawls back into Pak team - I vow to support any team against Pak until this vermin is eradicated from the team!!!!!!!

[saadibaba]

I hope he stop claiming innocence like he did before. I really hope he keeps a low profile and if he has to talk to the press, use that opportunity to apologize to the fans and all other players etc. He needs to stop acting like he did'nt do anything wrong and it was all a conspiracy against Pakistan. He needs to admit his role, apologize and move on. People have short memories and if he play his cards right, he might be able to salvage some dignity out of this. All depends on him.

[Saurav]

[saadibaba]

If I were him I would say something like:

I got greedy, I made a huge mistake, I let my country and team down. I am responsible for it. I have paid the price for it. I have learned my lesson. Please forgive me.

[Thees_Mar_Khan]

Will not be surprised if we again re-play his innocence/ victim comments.

[LastLaugh_PK]

Would be interesting to hear his side of the story too

[LegCutter]

To be honest, there are a lot of people that still support the fixers. Infact I think the majority still believes it was a kun-spir-ucy

He will tell his family and ignorant fans "No, no, I wasn't in jail - I was a guest of Her Majesty's!!"
