Mohammad Amir, the ex-Pakistan pacer has decided to come out of retirement. According to reports he said, he is available to get selected again for the Pakistan Cricket Team. In December 2020, the Mohammad Amir retirement saga had already created some storm in cricket world. Now, return of Amir might creat another break of controversy in cricket world again.

Last year, Amir took retirement from international cricket after having issues with national team coach Mishbah-Ul-Haq and selectors.

Interestingly, Amit who is currently playing in Carribbean Premier League decided to come from retirement only after Mishbah stepped down as chief coach of the team.

Moreover, Ramiz Raja becoming the director of cricket might have also provoked this decision from Amir.

While the Mohammad Amir retirement was still on, Amir took 59 T20I wickets in 50 matches. His economy rate of 7.02 was standout in that period.

However, Amir is not a part of announced Pakistan team for T20 World Cup. It will be interesting to see how his career shapes after Mohammad Amir retirement saga is over.
