While talking about Amir I am not criticizing anyone. Especially not Disrespecting Muhammad Hafeez or Azhar Ali. Both have their own credibility’s and specialties and both are the precious assets for the Pakistan cricket. Hafeez served Pakistan as a T20 captain, Azhar Ali is the working captain of national ODI team. Both are talented and God gifted batsman. But opposing Amir’s Inclusion in fitness camp is not a good deed by two of them. Instead of supporting this young lad on international platform as a senior players they are opposing his inclusion even in fitness camp. That was disgusting. Both of them had a stance that they will not play alongside a person whom bring disrespect to the country. Then what about corrupt leaders and others. Those survived even after proof against them. On the other side Muhammad Amir had admitted his fault at that time, ask apologies from whole nation for his deeds, faced his 5 year cricket ban of taking part in any type of cricket activities, goes through 6 month rehabilitation program, deliver lectures to players to avoid fixing how it can affect your carrier as a living example of this fixing. Then after 5 years came back, performed well in domestic circle got selected in BPL (Bangladesh Premier league) performed well in BPL then after all these procedures PCB called him for fitness camp regarding for tour to New Zealand in 2016. Even great legends of Pakistan cricket supported Amir in this saga. Including Great Imran khan, Wasim Akram and Muhammad Yousuf.
Back in 2010 when Amir faced 5 year ban for his spot fixing deal with Mazhar Majeed along with Salman Butt and pacer Muhammad Asif in England. Amir was in the form of his life but due to spot fixing he spoiled his carrier. On that time I was like instead of producing one Amir we can produce hundreds of Amir, Because Amir belongs to Pakistan not Pakistan belongs to Amir, he do wrong things he deserved this punishment because he brings disgrace to country. 5 years past with in no time, “Time and tide wait for none”. After this time span we are still there where Amir left us. In that 5 year time period we were not even produced a single genuine left arm fast bowler and we want to produce bowler those are far better than Amir. That’s a silly joke.
Inclusion of Amir in national team is much important at this time, because after New Zealand tour where we need Amir desperately on bouncy pitches, after this tour T20 world cup is ahead in India. Where pace of Amir will be much needed. Our left arm pace battery Amir along with Wahab can be much effective in New Zealand then in world cup too.
Best Wishes for Muhammad Amir.
