(Web Desk) – After being snubbed from the 15-man T20I squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir took a dig at his country’s cricket board.
The squad announced by PCB on Thursday led to seven players being axed from the team, while former skipper Shoaib Malik and veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez were recalled to the national side.
During Pakistan’s humiliating 3-0 defeat against an inexperienced Sri Lankan unit in October last year, Amir could only scalp three wickets in an equal number of matches. On their side’s tour to Australia late in 2019, the 27-year-old had to be content with just one wicket in three matches.
However, the pacer believes that his decision to quit Test cricket is the reason behind the snub. Replying to a tweet by sports presenter Zainab Abbas, where she questions Amir’s exclusion from the squad despite his recent six-wicket haul in BPL, the cricketer wrote “Test cricket.”
The pacer then immediately took off his tweet and later vowed to make a stronger comeback. “No worries chill everyone I will come back stronger InshAllah,” Amir tweeted.
