LONDON: Banned Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir would not have the chance to return to the sport on Thursday after serving a five-year ban for spotfixing if former England batsman Kevin Pietersen had his way. He believes any player caught fixing the outcome of matches or incidents within a game should be given life bans. “People always deserve a second chance in life but sport is different,” the 36-year-old wrote in his column in the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday. “We are paid to play a sport we love and are damn lucky to lead the life of a professional cricketer. There can be no way back.”
