An important member of Pakistan selection committee has contacted Mohammad Amir’s manager and asked him to communicate to the left-arm pacer to be prepared for international comeback.

According to a media report, the selector has asked Amir to focus on his cricket and refrain from giving unnecessary statements in the media, which might create controversy.

The report further added that he will soon be asked to take his retirement back, so he needs to keep practicing and keep himself fit till then.

Amir called time on his international career in 2020 in protest over the treatment he had received from the then-management, led by Misbah ul Haq.

However, after Najam Sethi took charge back in PCB, the management committee chairman said in a media interaction that Amir would be considered for selection like other players, if he takes his retirement back.

"Mohammad Amir can play international cricket for Pakistan if he takes his retirement back. I always took a strong stance against match-fixing. I believe no convicted player should be spared, but at the same time, a player should be allowed to resume international cricket once he has completed his years of penalty," said Sethi.

Pakistan chief selector, Haroon Rasheed, in an interview with Cricket Pakistan earlier this year, reiterated Sethi’s stance regarding the selection of Amir.

“I feel players should take decisions after careful consideration. Your single statement can cause controversy. In my opinion, players should focus on their cricket,” Haroon said.

“In Amir’s case, I am not sure about his status. I have heard he is thinking of taking his retirement back. It is good that he is playing. If he continues to perform, he will be in contention for selection like other players,” he added.

Despite his international retirement, Amir continues to play leagues around the world and recently represented Karachi Kings in PSL 8.
