“Well-educated but still ignorant”: Mohammad Amir lashes out at PCB

1 min read

After former Pakistan speedster, Mohammad Amir was included within the checklist of gamers who obtained home contracts for the upcoming season, the left-armer lashed out on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for his or her ‘ignorance’.
Amir, who retired from worldwide cricket in December 2020, refused to simply accept PCB’s home contract and stated,”If I’m not enjoying worldwide cricket, then what’s the purpose of that includes in home cricket.”

“They want to control me by offering this contract but that’s not going to happen. PCB should have contacted me before including my name in the domestic contracts list,” Amir was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
“They [PCB] have well-educated people in their ranks but they still behave like ignorant,” he added.
Stating that he would slightly be blissful if his contract was given to a younger cricketer, the 29-year-old minced no phrases and stated, “The PCB should give my central contract to a young cricketer to help him and so that he can support his family.”
“Maybe they [PCB] haven’t accepted the fact that I have retired from international cricket, which is why they take such steps,” he stated. “I’m enjoying playing league cricket and spend the rest of the time with my family.”

Amir has represented Pakistan in 36 Tests, 61 ODIs, and 50 T20Is.
