He retired from international cricket in December 2020, stating he
was mentally abused by Pakistan's team administration.
Mohammad Amir has made himself eligible for selection by Pakistan in the
forthcoming T20 World Cup, which begins on June 1 in the United States and the
West Indies. Amir's final appearance for Pakistan was a T20I against England in
2020, and he announced his retirement from international cricket in December of
that year, citing mental torment.
"I still dream of playing for Pakistan!" Amir, 31, wrote on social
media. "Life brings us to situations when we must reconsider our
decisions. There have been a few pleasant meetings between myself and the PCB
in which they respectfully made me feel that I was required and could still
play for Pakistan, and after consulting with family and well-wishers, I have
declared that I am available to be considered for the 2017 T20 World Cup. I
want to do something for my country because it is more important than my own
decisions. Donning the green jersey and serving my country has always been, and
will continue to be my greatest goal."
Amir most recently competed in the 2024 PSL for the Quetta Gladiators, where he took 10 wickets in nine games with an economy rate of 8.41. Amir's announcement comes just a day after allrounder Imad Wasim announced his retirement and declared himself available for selection in the T20 World Cup.
