All rumours regarding the return of bowler Mohammad Amir to the national squad have been deemed “factually incorrect” by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The selection process, according to the board, is “crystal: domestic performance!” It also made it clear that Amir had stopped playing for the national cricket team.
The fast bowler’s comeback to international cricket was reportedly granted the all-clear by the PCB the day before, according to sources.
They said that the selection committee got in touch with Mohammad Amir’s manager and asked him to be ready for his return to the national team.
Also, the official allegedly counselled the 30-year-old bowler to concentrate on his cricket rather to make needless comments in the media that can spark a debate. According to the rumours, Amir, who resigned from playing international cricket in 2020, will shortly be asked to rethink, therefore he has to stay in shape and continue training until then.
Amir is a capable bowler, according to the source, and Pakistan needed him. He stated that Amir had been urged to respect the rules and that he hoped to see him playing for the Pakistani team soon.
It is important to note that Mohammad Amir’s comeback to the international stage has been making news since since Najam Sethi became leadership of the PCB last year. Sethi responded, “Mohammad Amir may play international cricket for Pakistan if he takes his retirement back,” when questioned about Amir’s comeback to the national squad last year.
Najam Sethi repeated his position on disobeying the law and cricket regulations during a news conference, saying that no one is exempt from punishment if proven guilty. Match-fixers, according to the PCB Chairman, should be dealt with brutally, but when they have done their time, the cricket board should permit them to continue their career.
The left-armer departed international cricket in 2020 after reportedly having disagreements with Misbah ul Haq, the team’s then-head coach, and has not played for Pakistan since. The 30-year-old then focused on franchise cricket in an effort to restore his reputation.
With nine wickets in seven games with injuries playing a part, Amir placed 14th on the PSL 8 wicket-takers list. The selection committee for PCB was interested in him since he displayed enough signs of his former personality.
