Amir was recently playing in the inaugural edition of the Lanka Premier League. He had 11 scalps in 10 matches for Galle Gladiators.
In an interaction with Samaa Tv he stated “ He is not going to fade away from cricket but in this atmosphere, he is suffocating for being neglected every time by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Many times PCB has said that they have invested a lot of time in me (2015-2019), and he is tired of hearing these things. He especially thanked Shahid Afridi for giving him the opportunity and acknowledging his caliber after his ban on cricket(2010-2015) for involving in match-fixing.
Amir affixed “ everyone’s aim is to play for their country. But many ex-cricketers have said that he has retired from test cricket to play franchise league and earn money. But if I wanted to make money I wouldn’t have played for Pakistan, after getting Pakistan I will reveal my reasons for retiring in a proper manner.” the pacer currently in Sri Lanka as he participated in the 1st edition of the Lanka Premier League.
