“Mohammad Amir can play for Pakistan in international cricket if he postpones his retirement. I’ve always been vehemently opposed to match-fixing. No player should be spared, in my opinion, but at the same time, after serving his sentence for a given offense, a player should be permitted to play in international cricket once again. said Najam Sethi.
He added that Amir’s selection is unrestricted as long as he makes himself accessible for selection. The fact that Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Ehsanullah are in front of him in the line for consideration is another factor.
