Match-fixers should get life bans, says England's Cook


(Reuters) - England captain Alastair Cook said players involved in match-fixing should serve life bans although he will have no problem facing Pakistan's Mohammad Amir, who is returning to test cricket after a five-year suspension for spot-fixing.

Fast bowler Amir, who admitted he had deliberately bowled a no-ball against England in the fourth test at Lord's in 2010, was named in Pakistan's squad for the test series in England starting next month.
