I can help Amir make comeback in Pakistan team: Akhtar

Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has said that he can help retired pacer Mohammad Amir make a comeback in the national side.

Amir, yesterday, announced that he will take an indefinite break from international cricket after reservations with Pakistan team management.

“If you hand me Amir for two months, everyone will see him bowling over 150kph. I can teach him about how to make a comeback in the national side,” said Akhtar on his official YouTube channel.

He also urged Amir to regain his place in the side by performing well on the field.

“Amir should have bowled well and improved his performance so that no one could remove him from the team. You have to face your fears and you must confront management but by performing,” he added.

Akhtar also revealed that he was harassed by the team management during the 2011 World Cup.

“I openly say that I was not treated well during the 2011 World Cup, not by Shahid Afridi but by the rest of the management. I am saying it openly. I was harassed but I didn't care as I had already announced my retirement,” Akhtar, who retired after the 2011 World Cup, said.
