Ever since the retirement of Mohammad Amir from international cricket, many former cricketers have come forward and asked Amir to reconsider his decision. Legends such as Shoaib Akhtar and Inzamam-ul-Haq have suggested Amir to not take any decision in haste and reconsider his stance.

Veteran all-rounder, Mohammad Hafeez, when asked about Amir’s decision by a renowned journalist on a TV show, said that he doesn’t want to comment on the matter. Hafeez said that it is his personal decision, and it is his choice if he does not want to play for his country.
