Banned Pakistani cricketer Salman Butt has reportedly admitted to cheating on his country's tour of England in 2010 and has issued a public apology for his actions.
The former captain and his opening bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were banned by the International Cricket Council for spot fixing in the Lord's Test, Sport24 reports.
The report further said that the trio had also served jail terms in Britain after being found guilty of corruption and cheating, although Butt had previously denied the charges.
According to Butt, he is ready to undergo any rehabilitation programme as a part of his penance, although he added that he hoped that he gets the chance to play domestic cricket after the completion of his ban.
Butt received a 10-year ban, five years of which were suspended, and the report added that Amir has already confessed to spot fixing and is undergoing a rehabilitation programme in Pakistan.
