The controversy is growing over the retirement of Pakistan’s fast bowler Mohammad Amir. At the age of 28, Mohammad Amir has said goodbye to international cricket. Mohammad Amir has made new revelations in this matter after making serious allegations on the PCB at the time of retirement. Amir says that he could not work with the current management of PCB.

Amir made it clear that he said goodbye to cricket not because of the drop from New Zealand tour but because of PCB management. Amir said, “The dispute between the PCB and me started when I announced to say goodbye to Test cricket.” Everything was fine after the 2019 World Cup. Coach Mickey Arthur was understanding my decision. I was also selected for the limited-overs series on the Australia tour.

Amir further said, “But after losing the Test series in Australia, the bowling coach started making statements against me. I was accused of cheating. It was said that I have left Test cricket to play foreign leagues.

Make serious allegations

Amir said that he never ruled out playing ODIs and T20s. The star fast bowler said, “I always preferred to play for the Pakistan team. There was a wrong propaganda against me. I am not weak, if I was weak I would not be able to come back after 2010.

Amir alleges that the PCB did not inform him of being out of the New Zealand tour and he came to know this through social media. Amir said, “I was not going to play Test cricket. But I was always ready to play two formats. But the PCB started taking aim only with the decision to quit Test cricket.

Amir played 36 Tests, 61 ODIs and 50 T20s for Pakistan before retirement. Amir managed to take 259 wickets in international cricket. Amir made his debut in the T20 World Cup in 2009.
