Mohammad Amir: From detention to legend - resignation after turbulent career

Mohammad Amir draws the conclusion: A turbulent chapter ends in the Pakistani cricket!

The Pakistani express powers Mohammad Amir, who once landed behind bars for game manipulation in Great Britain, made his cancellation from the international cricket on Saturday. A career end that is surprising for many!

at 32 years and a moving life in cricket, Amir announced his decision in an emotional post on X. "After careful consideration, I made the difficult decision to withdraw from the international cricket," he said. "Such decisions are never easy, but they are inevitable. I feel that now is the right time for the next generation to take over the scepter and to raise the Pakistani cricket to new heights."

a Comeback and the resignation

Only this year Amir retired to take part in the T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean. But the shadows of his past continue to follow him. In 2010 he was blocked for five years for game manipulation during a test game in England and was in prison with his captain Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif. A scandal that shook the cricket in Pakistan!

His international career was characterized by ups and downs. Amir played a total of 36 tests and achieved 119 Wickets. In 61 Odis he reaches 81 Wickets and in 62 T20Is he collected 71 wickets. An impressive but also controversial heritage!

A look into the future

After his resignation of all international formats in December 2021, after being deleted by a New Zealand tour, Amir remained active and played in various franchise T20 ligen worldwide. He is currently active in a T10 league in Sri Lanka and shows that despite all the adversities, he still burns for the cricket.

his resignation marks the end of an era that was characterized by controversy and challenges. But Amir looks optimistically into the future and leaves the field to the young talents. Will Pakistan Cricket now reach new heights? Time will show it!
