Mohammad Asif's lawyers say the Pakistan bowler has been released from prison after serving half of his one-year sentence for involvement in a spot-fixing scandal.
London-based firm SJS Solicitors confirmed Asif was released on Thursday from Canterbury Prison in England for good behavior.
The 29-year-old paceman was found guilty of conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments by ensuring no-balls were bowled at predetermined times in a test against England in August 2010.
Captain Salman Butt and teenage bowler Mohammad Amir were also imprisoned for their roles in the conspiracy.
Asif is 12 months into a seven-year suspension from all cricket that was imposed by the ICC. Two years of the ban are suspended.
You’ll know Facebook is the most important consumer social network in most countries. For many companies, the Facebook presence has become more important than the web presence, so getting Facebook marketing right is a priority.
