Was it right for Lahore Qalandars to pick Salman Butt for PSL 2019?

No both of them are adults, and both were representing their county playing international cricket and paid by their respective boards. It is not about how you emotionally feel about them but about ground realities and legalities.

amir was young and a kid

butt wasn't young and was not a kid nor was he new to international cricket.... AND he was the captain.

Both of them were playing international cricket; both of them were briefed about anti-corruption laws stop making excuses for one and these irrational arguments.

you're making it seem like it was easy as saying no to your captain.

it all sounds so easy to theorize but in real life it's not.

Butt should have been banned for life.

rightfully amir was brought back

This is my point there is no difference between the case of Aamir and Butt.

So why did both ICC and the crown give them different bans and different prison sentences? These were learned judges and experienced administrators who decided both cases were different

Your obviously not thinking clearly The captain has power for selction to bowl you or not

Hes the one in charge on the pitch as a 17yr old you cant expect to say no to your captain and expect no pressure or repurcussions

So is Butt banned still by the ICC/PCB to play cricket ??

If you guys think that those institutions were rightful in issuing the sentences apparently of different lengths for both individuals what is the point of playing one and not the other when the bans slapped on them are over ???

because amir is young and had his whole career infront of him.

butt is in his mid 30s and he was the ring leader
