Amir had shocked fans by announcing his sudden retirement last year after raising allegations against the team management and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq.
He had also disclosed that he was not getting his due respect in the team and by the management which led him to lose interest in playing for the country. He said that he will be available for selection once the current management leaves.
Earlier Wasim Khan had an interaction with Amir and said he was a valuable player for the team and was making an effort to sort out the issues with the management. “I also made it clear to him that the path he adopted was not right as a senior player. I think Amir is a valuable player for us and we will now make efforts to bring about a rapprochement with him,” Wasim said.
Amir had was embroiled in another rift with the cricket board ever since he made comeback to international cricket. He had complained about being mentally tortured and not being in the correct state of mind to play for his country.
“Right now, I am leaving cricket. I am being mentally tortured. I don’t think, I will be able to handle this kind of torture because I have been tortured a lot from 2010 to 2015,” he had said before announcing to quit cricket.
