"Mohammad Amir could have his five-year worldwide ban for spot fixing extended after breaking his suspension by playing club cricket in Surrey last weekend," reported 'The Daily Mail'.
Aamir turned out for Addington 1743 against St Lukes in a Surrey League division one fixture on June 4.
The ICC is investigating if that was in violation of the terms of Aamir's ban.
"I asked the club representatives if the match fell under the jurisdiction of the ECB and they informed me that the match did not. I spoke to several club representatives about the issue and they all told me that it was a friendly and therefore would not contravene my ban from the ICC," Aamir has stated.
"I was informed that I was fine to play. I would not be stupid enough to knowingly play in a match that I knew would contravene my ban."
