KARACHI: Former Test Captain Salman Butt has been released from London’s jail, SAMAA reported Thursday.
Butt will leave for Doha at 11pm, according to the British time.
He will arrive in Lahore along with his lawyer tomorrow at 3am.
Butt will appeal against the ICC ban after his return to home.
The 27-year was jailed for 30 months last November on charges of accepting corrupt payments during the Lord's Test against England in August 2010.
Butt, team mates Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer, and agent Mazhar Majeed were accused of contriving deliberate no-balls in return for money.
Aamer was released in February after serving half his six-month sentence while Asif, jailed for 12 months, was freed in May. SAMAA
