A day after veteran Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim announced his retirement from international cricket, 32 year-old pacer Mohammad Amir has also decided to bid farewell to the game. Amir took to social media to announce his “inevitable” decision after “careful consideration.”
“After careful consideration, I have taken the difficult decision to retire from international cricket. These decisions are never easy but are inevitable. I feel this is the right time for the next generation to take the baton and elevate Pakistan Cricket to new heights!” Amir wrote on X.
“Representing my country has been and always will be the greatest honour of my life. I would sincerely like to thank the PCB, my family and friends and, above all, my fans for their continuous love and support,” Amir concluded.
The former pacer picked up a total of 271 scalps throughout the 3 formats. Amir played a total of 36 Tests, 61 ODIs and 62 T20Is. In the red-ball format, he picked 119 wickets, in the one-day format he has bagged 81 wickets and finally in the shortest format he took 71 wickets.
Amir retired from all forms of international cricket in 2021 but reversed his decision earlier this year to participate in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Amir made his last appearance for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup earlier this year during Men in Green’s final game of the group stage against Ireland.
