Fast bowler, Mohammad Amir, has been out of the national team for some time as he missed the Zimbabwe series. Pakistan announced a 35-man squad for the tour of New Zealand on Wednesday. Many expected Mohammad Amir to be included, but to their surprise, he was ignored once again.
When asked about his exclusion from the team head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq said that the national team is focusing on integrating young players and players that are available to play in all three formats.

Cricket journalist, Shoaib Jutt, also posted in Amir’s favor and said that the left-arm pacer should have been included in the squad especially because underperforming players continued to be selected. Amir said that only Misbah knows the answer to the question of his snubbing.
Misbah saab hi bata sakte hain but good luck for team green😊

Mohammad Amir announced his retirement from Test cricket in 2019 and has since faced a lot of criticism for his decision. Since his announcement, he has been in and out of the team. He hasn’t done himself any favors though as his form has been deteriorating over the past year. His performances in the recently concluded National T20 Cup were also far from impressive.
He needs to perform in the upcoming PSL playoffs to get the attention of the selectors and make his comeback to the national side.
