Mohammad Hafeez refuses to play with Mohammad Amir in Bangladesh

Mohammad Hafeez has turned down a chance to play in Bangladesh because his new team would also have included Mohammad Amir.

Hafeez was offered a contract by Bangladesh Premier League side Chittagong Vikings, where Amir is continuing his first-class cricket comeback after a five-year ban for spot-fixing during the 2010 tour of England.

Amir was only 18, and regarded as one of the world's best fast bowling prospects, at the time of his ban and spell in jail but Hafeez has no sympathy for his former international team-mate, or fellow convicted fixers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif.

"I was approached by my agent to play for the Chittagong team but when I knew that Amir was also in that team I refused it point blank," Hafeez said.

"I have no personal issues with Amir or Chittagong, it's my personal opinion that I can't share the dressing room with someone who hurt my country's integrity.

"If any other team makes me an offer then I will play the league and I have no problems facing Amir as I have played against him in the domestic matches, but I can't be in the same team.

"I had a lot of respect for all three before the incident as they were all talented but after the sordid episode I lost all respect because of their acts.

"They damaged the hopes and respect of the fans. They were just banned and went away from the fields, it was us who had to bear the brunt.

"We had to restore Pakistan team's integrity, restore the confidence of the world because in 2010 there were talks of banning our team from international cricket.

"We had to suffer the taunts of the fans and after 2010 every act, every defeat and every mistake of ours was seen as suspicious, so we overcame that tough time and will not allow it to happen again."
