Pakistan’s pacer Mohammad Amir, who had announced his retirement from international cricket, has detailed the reasons which led to this decision.

Mohammad Amir has criticized the current cricket team’s management and called for an end to the “yes boss” culture.

“This is not an emotional decision. I took this step after putting much thought into it,” said Amir in a video message uploaded on his YouTube account.

The Galle Gladiators fast bowler said the current team management, especially Waqar Younis, had been “putting people under the impression” that Amir had quit Test cricket because he wanted to play for different leagues and not the country.

The fast bowler said that certain people in the cricket team’s management were “trying to ruin his image” by saying that he preferred to play for different leagues as opposed to the national team because they paid him well.

He said that until recently, the PCB allowed its cricketers to only play two leagues. “Only recently have they started issuing three NOCs and allowed cricketers to play in three leagues,” he said.
