Nasir Jamshed faces extended prison term for spot-fixing role
Nasir Jamshed's hopes of an immediate release from prison have been dashed.
While Jamshed's sentence for his part in a spot-fixing conspiracy is due to expire on October 21, he has now been informed he will remain in prison on the order of the Home Office.
Jamshed, the former Pakistan batsman, is now facing the prospect of deportation. Previously allowed to remain in the UK on the basis of a spousal visa - his wife is a Birmingham-born doctor - the length of his sentence has attracted the attention of immigration authorities. Under UK Law, any non-citizen given a prison sentence of more than 12 months can be deported. Jamshed was sentenced to 17 months of which he would usually be expected to serve half.
While Jamshed's lawyer is expected to apply for bail imminently, he is certain to spend a little longer in prison even if it is granted. It is also possible he could be deported back to Pakistan, where he was born, and expected to contest his case from there.
His appeal against deportation will centre on his claim

Nasir Jamshed
A left-hand opening batsman, Nasir Jamshed has shown enough promise to be considered a long-term prospect in the Pakistan batting line-up. He made his international debut in early 2008, in the home ODI series against Zimbabwe, and though he did reasonably well in his early games, he was dropped in 2009 and spent two-and-a-half years away from international cricket. He returned with his appetite suitably whetted, and 2012 was a particularly memorable year for him, as he scored two ODI hundreds against India, and followed up with one more early the next year to firmly establish himself at the top of the order. An aggressive batsman, Jamshed plays strokes all round the wicket, but also backs it up with sound temperament and an ability to convert starts into big scores.
Jamshed's talent was visible from his junior days, and he made a mark very early in his cricketing career. Following an impressive 74 for National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) on his first-class debut when aged only 15, Nasir Jamshed was selected for the Pakistan Under-19s side to play the visiting Sri Lankan
