It has been learnt that the ICC has officially informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about permitting Amir to play domestic cricket.
Amir has been allowed to play domestic cricket for one year and after that, the ICC will assess his performance and attitude to decide his future.
The Pakistan bowler had been considered a great addition in the team it was expected that he would shine more with passage of time but suddenly everything changed with spot-fixing swindle.
A British court awarded jail to three top Pakistani cricketers including Salman Butt, Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Amir in spot-fixing case.
Later on, the court showed generosity to Amir and sent him to rehabilitation jail for being youngster and new in the cricket.
Asif and Salman Butt completed their jail term and filed petitions against their bans from the ICC but failed to get any relaxation.
Being young and immature at time of scam, Muhammad Amir had been punished less and all veteran cricketers and PCB showed sympathy for him and his career.
Now luck has smiled towards him again briefly and he has got permission to play cricket domestically by the ICC.
It is expected that after completion of this one year, Muhammad Amir will be allowed to play international cricket again.
Earlier last month, a five-member ICC sub-committee, which was set up after the 2013 annual conference to review the anti-corruption code, was formed to look into relaxing certain conditions of the five-year ban imposed on Amir after the spot-fixing scandal of 2010.
However, The PCB has already allowed Amir to use its facilities for training and now on the reque4st of the PCB the ICC five-member committee has recommended lifting of the ban from Amir allowing him play the domestic cricket.
