Former
Pakistan captain Salman Butt appeared upbeat as he arrived at a Swiss
court Friday in a bid to overturn a ban imposed for spot-fixing and
revive his cricket career.
"I feel good," Butt said as he arrived at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, shortly after 9:00 am (0800 GMT).
His appearance comes a day after Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif appeared before the court.
The 28-year-old former Pakistan captain said in a statement Thursday he was hoping the hearing, which will last until Friday afternoon, would help end his suspension and allow him to return to the game he loves.
Butt, Asif and fellow paceman Mohammad Aamer were banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2011 after being found guilty of deliberately contriving no balls to order in that match.
