Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding believes that Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir deserves a second chance to make a comeback to international cricket.
Amir was handed a five year ban for his involvement in the infamous spot fixing scandal in 2010. The ban will expire on September 2 this year.
Holding said that he believes Amir deserves a second chance and he hopes that he grabs this second opportunity firmly with both hands, PakPassion reported.
