Former fast bowler Mohammad Amir says he ignored and ignored the “Pakistan Cricket Setup” after the 2024 T20 World Cup and cited the lack of communication as the reason behind his retirement at the end of last year. Amir and Imad Wasim came out of their retirement to play in last year’s T20 World Cup, in which Pakistan’s flop shows saw the 2009 edition winners to make a super eight phases. Both these players declared their retirement in the last December in a row. Amir said on a TV channel, “I was sidelined and ignored by Pakistan cricket setup after the T20 World Cup. After the end of the T20 World Cup, no one spoke to me. Nobody told me if I was part of future plans.” “An intelligent person understands the signals – if you are not in plans, you have to think about yourself. Exactly I have done this. I have made up my mind now – very thank you very much, international cricket,” he said.
Left -handed pace had retired from international cricket in December 2020 at the age of 28, which cited issues with coaches Misbah ul Haq and Warcker Younis.
Amir said that he had also refused to accept a contract to play county cricket after PCB asked to play in the World Cup in the US.
“Saying honestly, I finished spending more money than I had made. I traveled with my trainer, and all those expenses came out of my own pocket. But this is a different case,” Aamir said.
Meanwhile, Amir supported the players to have an aggressive mindset in cricket.
“Cricket used to be terrible. Being mentally aggressive is part of the beauty of the game. It’s not an insult – it is about transferring the focus of the batsman. Outside the field, we all roam out and jokingly,” he said.
33 -year -old Amir also pointed to his technical faults and Pakistan mainly supported the chief Babar Azam to strengthen his recent struggles.
