Muhammad Amir's Retirement: Another Addition to the Decade of Decades of Competition Between Pakistani Cricketers and Cricket Board



The feelings of love and hate and friendship and enmity between the Pakistan Cricket Board and the cricketers look like a movie story. Sometimes they are very close to each other but then it does not take long for these happy relationships to break up.

The same is the case with fast bowler Mohammad Amir. Today, he has announced the end of his international career based on the alleged misconduct of the Pakistan Cricket Board team management.

But it is not so long ago that Mohammad Amir was the star of the Pakistan Cricket Board and the term 'fast track effort' was brought to the notice of the world to bring him back to international cricket after the spot-fixing scandal. But now the situation is completely different.

But Mohammad Amir is not the first Pakistani cricketer to appear angry with the Pakistan Cricket Board.



A total of 147 international matches and 259 wickets for Pakistan in them. This is our incomplete story. This is the closing note on which Muhammad Amir dismissed international cricket.

In Muhammad Amir's story since his international debut there are lot of ups and down's. Many times the story came to an end but neither Mohammad Amir himself surrendered nor did we fans ever let go of the disappointment but the announcement of retirement from international cricket is an anti-climax that even the storyteller himself is not aware of. WasIn Pakistan cricket, the 'announcement' of retirement is never a common news, it is a complete 'phenomenon'. The first is full of emotional messages, the 'don't leave now' type issue. Then gradually, when the 'announcement' starts to get old, the sound of 'IMBACK' becomes a new 'announcement' and falls on the headlines.

We have come across many such 'announcements' in the recent past. Although the announcement of Muhammad Yusuf's retirement could not prove to be more ridiculous than Shahid Afridi, but in any case, the contest was well done by a weak heart. Five years ago today, a terrible mistake made Muhammad Amir a hero.


After being punished for what he did, he is now busy trying to become a hero again, but all this is no longer easy for him.


Back of Amir

Mohammad Amir rejoins team after five-year ban ends in spot-fixing scandal When he returned, everyone was expecting him to perform similarly as he had done in the first part of his career. The team management and captains also thought that Mohammad Amir, being the most experienced bowler, would be the number one bowler in bowling attack, which is why he was included in the team in all three formats. Based on the catches that fell on his bowling, it was also said that if these catches had not been dropped, the number of wickets would have been much higher. Even if this justification is accepted, there is no harm in believing that a clear difference can be felt in the bowling of Mohammad Amir before and now. According to a journalist, he is now barely able to beat a batsman.

The way Muhammad Amir was bowling before his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal was reminiscent of young Wasim Akram . There was a lot of excitement in the 18-year-old. He is now 26 years old. He still has the passion to take wickets, but that passion doesn't seem to be enough to help him succeed.


The captain and coach wanted Mohammad Amir to be a permanent part of the team and win the match. Now they have been forced to change their strategy as it has become difficult for Mohammad Amir to maintain a permanent place in the team.

Big bowler of two matches 

And now the way Muhammad Amir has announced his retirement seems to be more of an appeal for human sympathy than for retirement. To improve his dealings with his former employer it had been impossible for him, the PCB, the announcement could have been made briefly and with dignity.

But Pakistani fast bowlers never like to retire secretly. Most fast bowlers had fallen a prey to the ego of their former heroes , it is a common spectacle. First Shoaib Akhtar fell victim to the decisions of Waqar Younis and now Muhammad Amir is also in love with him.


Virat Kohli 

Kohli said abut Amir that he is one of the dangerous bowler of the world.  I always feel difficulty in playing Amir's ball.


Shoaib Akhtar

Akhtar said Amir still have energy ,he is not at retirement age . he said that give Amir to him and see Amir bowling up to 155kph.
