Mohammad-Amir
Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has claimed that Mohammad Amir was trying to blackmail Pakistan Cricket Board. The veteran reckoned that Amir wants to make a comeback in the national team. Recently in an interview, Amir disclosed that he was forced to retire as he wasn’t getting the respect he deserved. While other members of the cricket fraternity supported Amir in this episode, some have also been against him. Mohammad Amir was enlisted into the national team after his spot-fixing ban came to an end. As a result, the pacer was part of several matches for Pakistan. However, Danish Kaneria disclosed that many members of the cricketing fraternity did not want him to return to the Pakistan side.
PCB was kind to give Amir a chance despite his involvement in fixing scandal: Danish Kaneria
Mohammad Amir made some more allegations against Pakistan Cricket Board and also slammed the selection policy. Moreover, his future plans of residing in England have also attracted several questions. Kaneria reckoned that from his comments on moving to England, getting citizenship, and playing the IPL, you could simply understand his headspace. Kaneria further indicated that PCB was kind to give Amir an opportunity despite the pacer’s involvement in the infamous match-fixing scandal in 2010. However, the former also said that Amir didn’t do well after the 2017 Champions Trophy and the selection committee had all rights to drop him from the squad.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Amir is currently in England and is likely to continue his stint in franchise cricket. The veteran seamer will be seen in action representing Karachi Kings in the second half of the Pakistan Super League. Amir featured in five games before the season was postponed due to COVID-19. In those games, he had scalped four wickets at an average of 38.75 and at an economy rate of 7.75. The T20 tournament eventually began on February 20. Only 14 games had been conducted before the COVID cases were reported. After the completion of PSL, he will join Kent in this season’s Vitality Blast. The 29-year-old will also be a part of the maiden edition of The Hundred later this year.
