Mohammad Amir Reverses Retirement for T20 World Cup Glory

Mohammad Amir has some contributions that played a vital role in Pakistan’s victories at the 2009 T20 World Cup and the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Pakistan’s pace attack is set for a potential injection of experience and deception with the news of Mohammad Amir’s international comeback. The 31-year-old pacer, who announced his retirement in 2020 following disagreements with the PCB management, has reversed his decision, setting his sights on the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies.

Amir’s decision follows “positive discussions” with the PCB, where he was assured he remained valued by the team. Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Amir expressed his enduring desire to represent Pakistan. “Life brings us to points where we have to reconsider our decisions,” he wrote. “After discussing with family and well-wishers, I declare that I am available to be considered for the upcoming T20 World Cup.”

This return is a testament to Amir’s unwavering love for his country. “I still dream to play for Pakistan,” he declared. “Donning the green jersey and serving my country has always been, and will continue to be my greatest aspiration.”

Amir’s impressive form in Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine undoubtedly fueled presumptions about his international return. His experience and skill, particularly with the new ball and during the death overs, proved valuable for his team. This revival in form resonated with fans, who shouted for his return as the T20 World Cup approached.
