Rawalpindi, Nov 10: When Pakistani cricket coach Asif Bajwa first saw 11-year-old Mohammad Aamer bowl, he knew the boy was headed for stardom.
Bajwa gave him free training, schooling, and lodging in his own home, hoping he would become a source of pride for Pakistan, a country plagued by poverty, militancy and endemic corruption.
But Aamer, who made a name for himself when Pakistan won the Twenty20 World Cup in 2009, now sits in a British jail, one of three Pakistani cricketers disgraced in a spot-fixing scandal.
Bajwa is heartbroken, and disappointed in Pakistani leaders who he says have failed to create a sound legal system that can deliver justice and instill better values in young people.
