Srinagar: Pakistan cricket team chief selector Mohammad Wasim has come out and commented on the return of the former pacer Mohammad Amir into Pakistan squad.
Mohammad who last played for Pakistan in August 2020 during a T20I against England has announced his international retirement.
However, Amir had insisted at the time that he would be available for consideration when then-PCB management ends its tenure.
Speaking with a journalist Hafiz Muhammad Imran, Pakistan chief selector Mohammad Wasim said that Amir has taken retirement and cant be considered for the selection.
“My work is to select from players who are available for selection. Unfortunately, Mohammad Amir never made himself available in my tenure. He has taken retirement, so I never talked about him. When he is not available, what can I say. The rest, who are available, we do talk about them and consider them. But there is no such policy,” Wasim said on Pakistan journalist Hafiz Muhammad Imran’s channel.
Last month, Mohammad Amir had tweeted ‘chief selector ki cheap selection’ after Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad was announced. The tweet was a direct dig at Muhammad Wasim as Amir was excluded from the 15-member squad.
