One of the best left-handed batsmen to come out of Pakistan after Saeed Anwar, Salman Butt is currently serving a 10-year ban, of which five years is a suspended sentence.

 Butt came into the limelight when he hit an unbeaten century against India in the BCCI platinum jubilee match at the Eden Gardens in November 2004 as Pakistan chased down 293 to win the match.

 But with questions being raised on his technique as an opener and the scores drying up, Butt could not cement a place in the Pakistan side.

 Butt came up with good scores against England in 2005 and since then became a regular member of the Test side. On Pakistan's disastrous tour of Australia in 2009-10, Butt was among the few players who came with their reputation intact.

 PCB made Butt the vice-captain for Asia Cup and England tour in 2010. With Shahid Afridi announcing his retirement from Test cricket, Butt was made the captain and led Pakistan to victory against Australia in his first Test as captain.

 Butt was banned alongwith Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer after a sting carried out by News of the World tabloid showed that he had taken bribe in return for detailed information on when no-balls would be bowled deliberately.

Profile

Salman Butt's career will forever be associated with the events at Lord's in August 2010, when - as Pakistan captain - he was implicated along with his new-ball bowlers Mohammad Asif and Amir in a betting scam involving the deliberate bowling of no-balls. A sting instigated by the News of the World led to a ten-year ban by the ICC, before on November 1, he was found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of conspiracy to accept corrupt payments and conspiracy to cheat. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison.
