ISLAMABAD A. J. Cann Youth Jersey , Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan's young fast bowler Mohammad Amir who was banned for five years over spot fixing charges in 2010 vowed that he wanted to make a clean comeback to the game.

"You will see positive developments in me. You will see Mohammad Amir as a better human now and also a better cricketer Yannick Ngakoue Youth Jersey ," he said.
The remarks came hours after the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday allowed Amir to play domestic cricket under the supervision of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after a five year ban.
A statement posted at the ICC website said that ICC's Anti- Corruption and Security Unit Chairman Sir Ronnie Flanagan has exercised his discretion to allow Amir to return to domestic cricket played under the auspices of the PCB with immediate effect.
Amir was sentenced to six months in prison in England for bowling no-balls at prearranged times during a match against the English team at Lord's in August 2010.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- Despite mounting pressure from the Republican Party establishment to ask Donald Trump to drop out of the presidential race after the disclosure of his past lewd comments about women, a new poll found on Sunday a majority of Republican voters want the party to stand behind Trump.
According to the POLITICOMorning Consult poll, nearly three in four GOP voters said party officials should continue to support Trump, with only 13 percent saying otherwise.
Overall, 39 percent of voters think Trump should end his campaign, while 45 percent think he should not drop.
Trump said on Saturday he would never drop out of the race despite mounting bipartisan condemnation of his lewd and sexually aggressive comments about women in 2005.
""I'd never withdraw. I've never withdrawn in my life,"" said Trump in an interview with The Washington Post, adding that he had ""tremendous support.""
However, even his running mate Mike Pence said he was ""offended"" by Trump's lewd remarks about women.
""I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them,"" Pence said in a statement, adding that Trump's 2nd debate Sunday night with his rival Hillary Clinton was an opportunity ""to show what is in his heart.""
Trump's defiant tone on Saturday came hours after U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan joined other Republican leaders in their condemnation of lewd comments about women made by Trump.
""I am sickened by what I heard today. Women are to be championed and revered, not objectified,"" Ryan said in a statement.
""I hope Mr. Trump treats this situation with the seriousness it deserves and works to demonstrate to the country that he has greater respect for women than this clip suggests,"" added the statement.
In a leaked audio clip recorded in 2005, Trump made lewd remarks about an unidentified married woman he hoped to have sex with, boasted about how easy it is to attract women with his celebrity status and even talked about groping women.
When you're a star, women let you do anything, he was recorded as saying.
The New York billionaire later apologized for the ""locker room banter"" in the audio, but claimed that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, ""has said far worse to me on the golf course -- not even close.""
However, Trump's bid to shift the focus seems to have failed as the chair of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, together with a number of other influential Republican lawmakers, released statements blasting the billionaire. Some of them even urged Trump to quit the presidential race.
""No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever,"" Priebus said in a statement.
