Prime Minister Imran Khan’s close aid and Senator, Faisal Javed Khan, recently expressed his views on Mohammad Amir’s controversial decision to retire from international cricket. Faisal believes that Mohammad Amir still has a lot to offer to Pakistan cricket and his talent should not be wasted by the PCB.
Mohammad Amir said that he retired from international cricket due to the mental torture he suffered at the hands of head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq, and bowling coach Waqar Younis. Aamir said the team management has made it clear that he is no longer a part of the plans.
