A period of turmoil continues in Pakistan cricket, the team’s fast bowler Mohammad Amir announced his retirement from international cricket on Saturday. A day before Aamir, the team’s spin all-rounder Imad Wasim had also announced his retirement. Both Aamir and Imad played for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup held in America and West Indies this year. 32-year-old Aamir has played 36 Tests, 61 ODIs and 62 T20 Internationals for Pakistan since his international debut in June 2009.
Aamir’s performance in the 2017 Champions Trophy final was strong
Aamir took 271 wickets across all three formats and scored 1,179 runs. The left-arm fast bowler is best known for his impressive performance in the 2017 Champions Trophy final against India, where he took three wickets for 16 runs. In the final match against India, Aamir took important wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan.
Aamir also retired in 2021
Mohammad Amir had earlier announced his retirement from all three formats of international cricket in 2021, however, he reversed his decision this year and announced his availability for the T20 World Cup. He represented the national team after a gap of 3 years and 8 months with the series against New Zealand this year. He next played in the T20 World Cup and took 7 wickets in 4 matches.
Retired for World Cup
His second innings at the international level ended unexpectedly with a humiliating defeat to Pakistan in the first round of the tournament. In a statement given to the Pakistan Cricket Board about his retirement, Aamir said, ‘It is a great honor for me to play for Pakistan in all three formats. I know it is a difficult decision, but I feel this is the right time for the next generation to take Pakistan cricket to new heights.
Virat Kohli also praised
Some time ago, in an interview, veteran Indian player Virat Kohli had also praised this Pakistani fast bowler. When he was asked which bowler he found difficult to bat against, he took the name of Mohammad Aamir.
