As per media reports, Amir said

1. PCB is trying to tie me down with a domestic contract
2. I will not sign this contract
3. I will go to UK from the West Indies and spend time with my family
4. PCB have included me in domestic contracts without asking me

 

[Rana]

With such a poor attitude, he will still be back in Pakistan colours at some point

 

[NauV]

What an entitled . . . . . . .
I feel so foolish supporting his comeback from 2013 . . then defending his lackluster performances until 2017/18 when I finally realized this guy has an excuse for everything!

Unreal . . . .

Time to put a pin this chapter!

 

[Sir-fraz]

Amirs done and dusted, i dont see ramiz bringing him back. Hes been terrible on and off the field.

Lol at the 4th one.
Aalee Jaan kia aap domestic cricket khelengay.?

 

[Last Monetarist]

He needs to be thrown out of Pakistan cricket (including the PSL) for good.

 

[Bewal Express]

Why is a guy that has retired being given so much attention, especially as he is a busted flush

 

[Hasan123]

If he wants to play for Pakistan again, why is this an issue? The reason is because he wants to play T20 leagues more. I’m sick of his victim like mentality.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Amir doesn’t want to play domestic cricket, all hell breaks loose.

Imad Wasim goes to play in the Big Bash League during the domestic season, not one person bats an eye.

 

[Major]

Yeh so misbah is still to be blamed?

This shows misbah was right. And thank god misbah got rid of him before.

His stance against misbah and waqar was just drama, he never wanted to play cricket as he earns easy money.

Yet this corrupt fixer drag the name of misbah and placed blame on him.


There you go, even under a new managment he will not play.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

His arrogance led to his downfall.

 

[Major]

I actually enjoy watching amir make such moves and decisions. It only proves what a bad decision pcb made by allowing him back.

People dont change. Rotten apples will stay rotten.

If pcb had never bought him back he would had never been able to settle in England or return back.

Its funny how these people think national duty is a joke and will do anything to run after a foreign passport

 

[moghul]

Only Azam Khan is excused from playing domestic cricket, no one else .

 

[Concerned]

Amir would make more money playing in the T20 leagues compared to domestic cricket. As we have seen, he would be willing to do anything for some extra cash.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

He needs to be thrown out of Pakistan cricket (including the PSL) for good.

Said it once said it before arrogance, this is disgusting from Amir. A board bent over backwards for him gave him the moon and stars and he acts like this, defo agree with you needs booted out of PSL and given a license by PCB to do whatever he wants. No need for this piece of trash to be back in our team.

 

[shujaatraza]

All those quoting Imad and Azam should realize there is a difference. The right way is to accept the contract and then work with PCB to allow you to play in T20 leagues. Which is what they are doing.
Or you can simply come out and say i wont be playing ODIs and Test for Pakistan so i will accept the contract which is what Hafeez, Malik, Kamran and Wahab have done.
Here Amir blamed the management for not playing and now when they are gone he has a new excuse.

 

[Savak]

Moot point, highly irrelevant player at this moment.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Amir would make more money playing in the T20 leagues compared to domestic cricket. As we have seen, he would be willing to do anything for some extra cash.

How long do you think he will be selected for these leagues? I know he has had a decent CPL but he has been shockingly poor for a long time.

 

[Concerned]

How long do you think he will be selected for these leagues? I know he has had a decent CPL but he has been shockingly poor for a long time.

Age is not a criteria for PSL so still has many years!

However, his form can only decline further. Even in the hundred league he was dropped.

 

[Hawkeye]

Nothing to be worried about.

He'll still be picked for the national team at some point, most likely after the humiliation we'll face at the World T20.

So I will not*

 

[Concerned]

Shaheen and Hassan are still first choice bowlers. The T20 will be spinner dominated so don’t think anyone will go running for Amir.

 

[Shafi]

Don't think new management will take him back and his PSL duty will be in threat. Ramiz Raza will tell M Wasim not to put him in PSL draft so franchises cannot select him.

 

[Shafi]

Nothing to be worried about.

He'll still be picked for the national team at some point, most likely after the humiliation we'll face at the World T20.

He doesn't have any passion to play for Pakistan plus RR will make sure neither Sharjeel nor Amir get back into team. This guy is finished.

 

[rockyboy2018]

If local players do not get to play with senior players what experience they are going to learn from. That is the attitude of Pakistani cricketers and officials they expect King reception. I am sure even Ramiz Raja in any capacity ever went to a stadium to watch a domestic match. it is quite understandable that Pakistani cricketers have that sort of attitude. After world cup twenty20 his chapter should be closed forever.

 

[gazza619]

Not a big deal in the modern world.

 

[Varun]

He wants money without hard work. Everybody saw this over a decade ago.

And given the choice between T20 and T10, he'll choose T10.

 

[IMMY69]

Nothing to be worried about.

He'll still be picked for the national team at some point, most likely after the humiliation we'll face at the World T20.

The humiliation will be because he was selected for long, as opposed to backing a young bowler.

 

[Hawkeye]

The humiliation will be because he was selected for long, as opposed to backing a young bowler.

Not at all.

First, only one bowler spot doesn't mean anything. And our bowling isn't a concern at all.

The humiliation will be due to the terrible batting. Good luck counting on Khushdil etc.

 

[Ami]

Mai, mai, mai...bus mai!

 

[TeymurBlake]

Well, there's definitely little chance of him coming back into the Intl. fold. No domestic cricket, No Intl. cricket.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Amir doesn’t want to play domestic cricket, all hell breaks loose.

Imad Wasim goes to play in the Big Bash League during the domestic season, not one person bats an eye.

Different situation, the BBL was a much more rewarding experience than domestic cricket and that is a fact.

Amir wants to be selected despite not performing even in domestic cricket, and failing in overseas leagues as well. He wants the red carpet to be laid out when he hasn't played a single List A game in a year and a half.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

He's going to be permanently settling over here now, he's even said he's more focused on coming to the UK to be with his family. I assume he's probably made enough money to get by for a while, and he'll still earn from T20 leagues.

Although I'm not sure he'll get picked for the really big ones after performing rubbish in the Hundred. He's done now and he knows it. PCB should really just give him a wide berth.

Let’s be real, If It was Amir who decided to go to the BBL instead of playing domestic cricket, people would be calling him all sorts of names, like “chasing money”.

 

[Titan24]

He absolutely didn't deserve to be in the category A to start with as he only plays T20s and didn't play anything else in the last domestic season.

If he plays domestic tournaments than he should be paid just like some other guys who opted for tournament based contracts/compensation as he doesnt deserve a retainer for only playing a tournament here and there.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

He wants money without hard work. Everybody saw this over a decade ago.

And given the choice between T20 and T10, he'll choose T10.

Exactly. He thinks too highly of himself. I also think he has made it easier for Rameez and others to not select him in the future.

 

[Ashmal]

Nothing to be worried about.

He'll still be picked for the national team at some point, most likely after the humiliation we'll face at the World T20.

Tbh....no further humiliation can be worse than being blanked by SL C and Eng C or losing games to Zimbawe.

It should be curtains for Amir's international career.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Yeh so misbah is still to be blamed?

There you go, even under a new managment he will not play.

All cricketers are after easy money. If BCCI permits, i assure you all Indian cricketers will put their names for BBL, CPL, PSL etc. Cricketers from SA, NZ are missing their international tours for league cricket. Why is Amir being dragged so much for earning money?

 

[Saj]

The issue for Pakistani players is that if they have a domestic contract then that could lead to them missing out on overseas tournaments.

No domestic contract means that a player can play anywhere any time and not have to be tied down by a PCB contract.

1. Amir blamed misbah for his short comings

2. Amir wants to be allowed to choose the series he wants to play. Basically he wants to play on england, sa and australia and wont play uae and subcontinent. He wants to play in icc tournaments.

You cant pick and choose

And when his request is denied he bashes misbah and waqar.

Amir is doing what he feels is best for him. As a professional, he is entitled to make such career choices. He is even saying to PCB that he is retired and stop kissing his ***. I don't understand why PCB loves him so much.

 

[Major]

I just hope pcb just pulls out his name from psl. We dont need him anymore. As soon as he gets a british passport he wil stop associating with pakistan cricket so better if pcb pulls the plug on him first.

I agree that he can't pick and chose but i also feel its PCB who is to blamed for his mess. Amir's attitude what we say in India for disrespectful kids "Sir pe chada rakha hai". He was too pampered by PCB despite spot fixing, brought back into the team after discarding Junaid khan etc. He feels as if he is Wasim Akram 2.0. I think PCB should just kick him out permanently and release a public statement to make a benchmark for future.

THis is why Azhar Ali, Hafeez and Misbah were against him comeback. Because a rotten person doesnt change.

We all saw Asif keep on getting caught in different acts.

its not only PCB to blame but also every person who supported amir with the bullc**p reason that he was a youngster he didnt know anybetter.

Well 10 years later it seems he knew what he was doing all along and hasnt really changed.

I hate the guy to the guts for the crime he committed and the fact he goes around bashing Pakistan cricket. A fixer bashes PCB......

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I think that's fair enough for Amir to be turning down the contract, in any case PCB shouldn't be offering him a contract as he's no longer good enough. Hopefully they have finally got the message now and Amir can fade gracefully into the sunset.

 

[Rana]

I actually like the fact that PCB do not want to go down the path of WICB allowing players who are not centrally contracted to represent their country whenever they choose

 

[Saj]

I'm surprised that more players aren't going down the route of turning down PCB domestic contracts, I'm sure more will follow, Amir and Hafeez.

 

[sabre1486]

his ego is writing cheques, his current bowling skills cannot cash. let us be rid of this guy - give his spot to a younger talent.

Again because he was saying it is because of Misbah and Waqar. Nobody is saying that he shouldn’t earn easy money, thing is he should be upfront about it that i get more money by playing leagues so I am unavailable for Pakistan.

 

[Hawkeye]

his ego is writing cheques, his current bowling skills cannot cash. let us be rid of this guy - give his spot to a younger talent.

His ego is writing checks that his residence can cash.

He lives in the UK.

He plays leagues all over the world, earns more than the PCB can offer.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Unless you’re Imad Wasim, who I believe chose to play in the BBL over domestic cricket.

If it was Amir then…

 

[UzmanBeast]

Let’s be real, If It was Amir who decided to go to the BBL instead of playing domestic cricket, people would be calling him all sorts of names, like “chasing money”.

Imad didn't retire because he got his feelings hurt. He saw a better opportunity, and the PCB provided him with an NOC to play in the BBL.

Amir retired so that he could play in every league on the planet. At least Imad repaid the PCB by being available for selection, not throwing a temper tantrum about not being selected.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I think if PCB had made it mandatory for Amir to play 2 seasons of domestic cricket before bringing him back into the national team after spot fixing saga than these problems wouldn't have happened. Amir is too entitled. He is too "sayana" for my liking. I don't buy the argument that he was too young and wasn't aware of spot fixing. He is a cunning and selfish person.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Nope, Amir retired from test cricket and was dropped from all 3 formats because Misbah said he’d rather have players who are available for all 3 formats - which is why Wahab took back his test retirement, just so he could play ODI’s and T20’s, but, Amir stood his ground.

Amir then retired from all formats because Waqar Younis, the bowling coach was taking digs at Amir in the media, why would Amir want to comeback into the team when both the coach and bowling coach have taken a dig at you through the media?

 

[PakLFC]

Amir should retire gracefully. He is obviously a confused man still understandably upset over the match fixing scandal. He is making it out to be that others are always in the wrong.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I'm sure certain people here will find a way to put this on Misbah and Waqar.

Anyway, this does not surprise me. More of an affirmation of something I predicted long ago. That Amir has no interest in working hard and earning his place. He thinks that just because he had five years of his life wasted for something HE DID, that PCB and Pakistan cricket owe him something. When the reality is that he is the one who owes them for bringing him back despite his actions which brought nothing but humiliation and shame to this nation. As well as for giving him chance after chance for years eventhough his performances largely ranged from mediocre to straight-up horrendous, with the odd brilliant performance in-between.

He is an entitled brat who only really cares about making money but wants us to think that he still wants to play for Pakistan. I say throw him out and don't even select him in the PSL. Let him do what he really wants to do, which is to move to England, gets a cushy white-ball county contract and spend the rest of his playing career playing T20 leagues.

 

[sabre1486]

His ego is writing checks that his residence can cash.

He lives in the UK.

He plays leagues all over the world, earns more than the PCB can offer.

yeah thats clearly his level and what he is interested in at the moment. I have heard some talk about him eventually playing for england which i do not think is ever going to be on the cards.
i think its obvious that he is not interested in playing for pakistan anymore. good luck to him . wish he'd put in more work when he came back and didnt try to cruise with his natural gifts.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

This kind of attitude is one of the main reasons of our cricket team's decline...

Farewell Amir. Never return to PCT and you should keep on playing T20 leagues.

 

[Hawkeye]

Amir should retire gracefully. He is obviously a confused man still understandably upset over the match fixing scandal. He is making it out to be that others are always in the wrong.

He has already retired.

Stupid to put him in a domestic contract.

 

[Shahzad1985]

Why can’t PCB make a rule that a person that plays no domestic cricket is not available for the PSL draft, sit down with all the franchise owners and make this rule. That will soon see this arrogant fixer come down a peg or two, better still just tell the franchise owners not to select him for any team.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

When you read Amir's statement you seriously get the impression that he is a deeply delusional and paranoid individual. I mean this is a guy with a serious persecution complex.

All that the PCB did was offer him an employment opportunity and this ungrateful and entitled brat thinks PCB is trying to control him with money. When the simple reality is that he is the one whose ultimate goal is to get rich playing T20 leagues. And he's not interested in making what he probably considers as chump change from domestic cricket.

If PCB has any self-respect they will wash their hands of him for good. Everyone makes mistakes. Just admit to yourself that you made a blunder backing someone with such serious character flaws and move on. If it was upto me, he wouldn't play in Pakistan again. Domestic or PSL. Too bad it isn't upto me.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

"They want to control me by offering this contract"

That's a direct quote from the delusional edgelord himself.

I don't know about everyone else but the more I hear from him, the more I get the impression that this guy is a seriously toxic and paranoid personality. Its a great benefit to Pakistan cricket that he is far away from the dressing room today.

 

[shamaan]

I just hope pcb just pulls out his name from psl. We dont need him anymore. As soon as he gets a british passport he wil stop associating with pakistan cricket so better if pcb pulls the plug on him first.

I agree pcb should pull his name out of psl.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I actually like the fact that PCB do not want to go down the path of WICB allowing players who are not centrally contracted to represent their country whenever they choose

WICB doesn’t have any choice. They had to bring back 40 year old Gayle, Bravo, Rampal etc again. Their pipeline of new players is empty.

 

[Rana]

I agree pcb should pull his name out of psl.

Not really man

He is a big draw and the best antagonist of the league.

 

[TheSultan]

I think Amir realised in 2018, the game is up as a test bowler. Too much hard work, he doesn’t want to go that extra mile anymore.

He can still hoodwink his way in to T20 type leagues off his name. And the sad thing is, even in that format, just 3-4 overs, he’s struggling.

Terrible attitude. But I don’t know why the PCB entertain him

 

[Nasty Naz]

As per media reports, Amir said

1. PCB is trying to tie me down with a domestic contract
2. I will not sign this contract
3. I will go to UK from the West Indies and spend time with my family
4. PCB have included me in domestic contracts without asking me

Confusing if this was really said. Do they not offer you a domestic contract every year? They need to ask your permission for them to give you a domestic contract? Really confusing unintelligent comments.

It is a good thing for Pakistan though. The chapter with Amir is clearly over. He is a poor Test & ODI bowler at this point and only half-way decent for T20's, for which Pakistan have plenty of bowlers to pick from. Giving his spot to a younger player with long-term potential is better anyways.

Disappointing how this has turned out considering PCB gave him his career back and the ability to make good money just by playing cricket and it has turned into such ignorance & arrogance. I guess he did pick-up a couple of things from Younis after all.

 

[moghul]

Amir has a point too. He "retired " because he thought he was not treated well. If PCB really wanted him to play, someone should have talked to him and only then should have included his name in the domestic team. Does not make sense to include a "retired" player in the team without talking to him.

 

[Snowflake]

I'm surprised that more players aren't going down the route of turning down PCB domestic contracts, I'm sure more will follow, Amir and Hafeez.

Really depends on if they think franchises are after them. Can't turn down a contract without having any alternative.

Are there others who are good enough?

 

[unemployedgm]

A few things

1. Amir has been mishandled from day one. He’s been coddled prior to even making his debut for Pakistan. What’s happening now is the opposite extreme. Neither works or will work.

2. I may be wrong but I believe Amir is not far away from becoming a resident of the UK, which means he would be eligible to play county cricket without being considered an overseas player which makes him valuable and would give him far more security than what the PCB can offer.

 

[FastBowlingAllrounder]

Not really man

He is a big draw and the best antagonist of the league.

They should draw the line somewhere otherwise every new cricketer will have this mentality and they will all fall victim to the "superstar" disease running rampant in PCT.

 

[Lahorijat]

It will be embarrassing for PCB, if he gets to play PSL after this.

 

[fitCricFan]

With such a poor attitude, he will still be back in Pakistan colours at some point

What's poor about this attitude?
You should instead be thankful and appreciate that by refusing that contact he is leaving the spot available for another deafening youngster, like Amir said.

 

[fitCricFan]

his ego is writing cheques, his current bowling skills cannot cash. let us be rid of this guy - give his spot to a younger talent.

That's exactly Amir's reason to turn down the contact so why the hate?

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Would love to hear his fans defending his every move.

Misbah really destroyed him so he must be feeling he'll get tortured by playing domestic cricket.

Poor from PCB to be offering him a contract by stooping so low.

He'll do anything to make easy money still. Shahid Afridi should give some statement now on how he is not being handled correctly.

 

[OMB]

Amir's is such a Drama Queen.
All that talk about making space for a youngster but gve him a chance in National side and such great scrifices will disappera.

 

[shamaan]

Not really man

He is a big draw and the best antagonist of the league.

Not a big draw anymore

 

[shamaan]

That's exactly Amir's reason to turn down the contact so why the hate?

Hopefully he can give his psl contract to someone else azwell

 

[Mamoon]

I'm sure certain people here will find a way to put this on Misbah and Waqar.

Anyway, this does not surprise me. More of an affirmation of something I predicted long ago. That Amir has no interest in working hard and earning his place. He thinks that just because he had five years of his life wasted for something HE DID, that PCB and Pakistan cricket owe him something.

Amir doesn’t owe Pakistan cricket anything and PCB did not do any favors for him. PCB acted on its interests.

They perceived Amir as a generational talent and brought him back because they needed him, especially because he was still young.

If he was too old like Butt and Asif, he too would have been discarded.

When you do something for someone that also benefits you, it is not called a favor; it is called a mutually beneficial arrangement, and that is what this whole Amir deal was.

Amir got a second chance and PCB got a player that they needed and failed to replace.

A fit and motivated Amir is still better than all Pakistani pacers except Shaheen and Hassan when the latter is having a good day, but he is clearly done with Pakistan cricket.

He has no desire and motivation to play in Pakistan and I think PCB should simply let him go.

A fit and motivated Amir is now a 127-130 km/hr. To be honest the PCB woke up to the fact how utterly overrated and ineffective he really is and finally decided to stop kissing his behind and move on from Sept 2018 after the Asia Cup.

Amir is no Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib that the PCB will put up with his diva tantrums because the output is just not there.
