Pakistan fast bowler, Mohammad Asif who was sent to jail for spot-fixing has been released on Thursday morning after completing half of his one-year sentence.
Mohammad Asif was found guilty in November 2011 at Southwark Crown Court for conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments over deliberate no-balls bowled during Lord's Test against England.
Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir were his other team mates who were found guilty. Amir pleaded guilty and was released in February after serving half of a six month sentence, while Asif and Butt denied the charges against them in court.
His team mate, Salman Butt is currently serving a 30-month jail sentence and the agent Mazhar Majeed who was accused of setting up the deal that was uncovered by a newspaper sting operation, was imprisoned for 32 months.
