Mohammad Asif wasted his talent and promise by indulging in spot fixing in 2010. Salman Butt, Muhammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were involved in spot fixing when Pakistan toured England in 2010. Mohammad Asif was banned from playing international cricket for 8 years. He wasnt selected for Pakistan again after serving this ban.
Mohammad Asif was a geniune fast bowler who bowled with immaculate accuracy and line and length just like Glenn McGrath used to do for Australia. He used to bowl magical and unplayable deliveries. He had every skill like inswing, outswing, incutters, outcutters and bouncers. He also deceived the batsmen with slight variations of pace. AB devilliers once said that Muhammad Asif made him to cry when he once dismissed him. Who can forget Mohammad Asif clean bowling of Sehwag, Tendulkar and Laxman all in quick succession in the historic Karachi Test in 2006. Pakistan won that test match against India in Karachi in 2006 all because of Mohammad Asif's bowling.
In the end what I would like to say is that Muhammad Asif wasted himself by getting involved in spot fixing.
