Recently, the former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif claimed that Mohammad Amir didn’t do any justice to Pakistan cricket after he made a comeback into the game during the Asia Cup in the year 2016.
Well, Mohammad Amir was suspended from the game following the shambolic spot-fixing scandal in 2010 at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Even after he made his way back, Mohammad Amir’s career couldn’t take-off.
Recently, in an interview, Mohammad Asif claimed that Mohammad Amir failed to give it back to the Pakistan cricket team and his colleagues. As per him, the Southpaw shouldn’t have retired from Test cricket last year, especially when the team was facing a bad phase. Mohammad Asif said:
“I curse the PCB for how they rescued his career. But it was his obligation to help Pakistan cricket in a tough situation and he should have stayed, especially when they had helped him return,”
After Amir took retirement, he found himself at the receiving end of criticism and trolling from the Pakistan cricket fraternity. He was quoted saying:
“Anyway, it’s the PCB’s decision to let him go, but if he is meant to leave Test cricket at this age, it really is a curse upon those who fought so hard to bring him back. And did anyone ever take Amir’s name, saying he was the toughest bowler to handle? Definitely no”
He added:
“It’s about how compassionate you are. If the PCB invested so much in you then it’s your duty to rescue them in Test cricket. If they had done the same with me, then I’d still be available to rescue Pakistan in Test cricket for the next two years,”
Mohammad Asif also claimed that he never got the much-needed support from PCB, the way Mohammad Amir got.
