Srinagar, April 22: Pakistan fast-bowler, Mohammad Amir, has finally spilled beans on why he retired from international cricket at a young age.
The pacer revealed that he wasn’t getting the respect he deserved from the people at helm of Pakistan team. He said he had no personal interest in taking this decision.
“There was nothing selfish about my decision to retire. At the moment there is no chance of me making a comeback, but if things get better then, who knows, maybe you will see me playing for Pakistan once again in the future,” Amir told Wisden.
“What matters most to me is respect and I felt that I wasn’t getting the respect I deserved and that’s why I took the decision to retire. The people in charge of Pakistan cricket have their job to do, they have their responsibilities and have their decisions to make, and I have my career to continue and look forward to.”
The 29-year-old announced a surprise retirement, leaving cricket fans in shock. He, however, later said in a tweet that he would like to make a comeback, if Pakistan management wants him to.
The left-arm seamer though is continuing to play other forms of cricket, be it franchise-based or other longer-format tournaments.
