Inzamam’s View on the Possibility of Amir’s Comeback :
“Amir has been a great cricketer. He has taken retirement. If he wants to play for Pakistan, he will have to play first-class cricket and perform there. If he performs, then he will definitely be considered. The selection door is not closed for any player.”
Inzamam also noted that the same scenario applies to other players, such as Sarfraz and Imad Wasim. He emphasized that they too must perform well, and the selection doors are open for all eligible players.
Inzamam-ul-Haq added:
“The same is the case for Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shan Masood, and Imad Wasim”
Although Muhammad Amir has retired from international cricket, he remains active in franchise cricket and continues to deliver consistent performances.
In the current 2023 CPL season, he is a part of the Jamaica Tallawahs and currently ranks as the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
