Mohammad Amir has been given the green light to resume his career and return to Pakistan domestic cricket following his five-year ban for spot-fixing.
Amir was suspended from all forms of the game for his part in the scandal during Pakistan's tour of England in 2010.
That ban was due to expire in September, but the International Cricket Council (ICC) board confirmed on Thursday that the 22-year-old can make his comeback in his homeland.
An ICC statement read: "The ACSU Chairman, Sir Ronnie Flanagan, with the prior approval of the ICC Board and the Pakistan Cricket Board, has exercised his discretion to allow Mohammad Amir to return to domestic cricket played under the auspices of the Pakistan Cricket Board with immediate effect.
"Amir’s five-year ban is scheduled to expire on 2 September 2015.
"The ACSU Chairman had exercised the powers vested in him under Article 6.8 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code after he was satisfied that Amir had cooperated with the ACSU by fully disclosing his part in the matters that led to his disqualification, admitting his guilt, showing remorse and cooperating with the Unit's ongoing investigations and by recording messages for the ACSU education sessions."
Amir has played in 14 Tests, 15 one-day internationals and 18 international Twenty20 games for his country.
