He is begging for a comeback. Every action has a consequence. You can not get away with things all the time.

Rizwan never opened in T20 until Misbah let him play as an opener
The precedent of giving free tickets has been set. We all know Amir is a good, experienced bowler

He should perform in this year PSL to get a chance. Rizwan performed in National T20 as an opener so you are wrong on this.

CPL is no barometer. He needs to perform in PSL. The good thing for him is that he won't have any problem with NOC till Sethi is here

I have not followed Amir, during his BPL stint, how is he doing in terms of bowling speed, is he bowling well smartly, or does he look all over the place. Having Amir on song, in the national team is great, but how good is he currently, doe he truly warrant a place in the national side

Lol you can't select someone on the basis of BPL, CPL or any of these nonsense leagues.
If Amir was interested in a comeback he'd play domestic cricket. He hasn't in years. We need to stop mentioning the guys name as if he's somehow been badly treated.
It will be interesting if he does get picked who will open the bowling and who will come at first change as naseem normally takes the new ball with shaheen.

Must be a nice life.
Announce your retirement whilst still in your 20's, make a boatload of money from leagues and then come back just to play the big ones without needing any domestic or international performances.
What has Amir really done to deserve this special treatment?

Haroon Rasheed in an interview:
“I feel players should take decisions after careful consideration"
Your single statement can cause controversy,”
“In my opinion, players should focus on their cricket. There are a lot of players and every player considers themselves worthy of selection in playing XI, but it all depends on which players are suitable in certain conditions.”
“In Amir’s case, I am not sure about his status. I have heard he is thinking of taking his retirement back. It is good that he is playing. If he continues to perform, he will be in contention for selection like other players"

Shoaib Akhtar on Amir
“PCB calling Mohammad Amir and asking do you want to play, in my opinion this is not the right approach.”
“We were also dropped in the past, the PCB management was angry with me for almost 12 years, but this doesn't mean that I should quit. Instead we should think what are Pakistan's requirements, this was his mistake.
“He goes and says in interviews that he invested himself in cricket, he has been punished as well in the past. Well, you did something wrong, hence you were punished. You didn't do a favour to Pakistan cricket. You had to repay what the country gave you, the country was expecting that from you."
"Until 2017 he had okay kind of performances, which was followed by a brilliant show in the Champions Trophy. However, after that there were hardly anything standard in the next 15-20 ODIs"

I haven't heard a player from any other country so desperate to get back into the national team. What if Sethi is sacked in the coming months...will he go back to his retirement?
As a fast bowler he has only some years left...just enjoy playing in these worldwide leagues and make money...which was his first love.

Pakistan's former international pacer Mohammad Amir has joined his team Asia Lions for Legends League Cricket (LLC) in Doha, Qatar.
Amir, after his Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings was eliminated from the eighth edition, joined the Lions' squad ahead of their second match against World Giants.

Well you also thought that Sharjeel was a destructive top-order batter so I would take anything you say with a grain of salt.
Absolutely laughable assertion though, especially in a world where Shaheen and Bumrah exist.

Seems like a fair one.
Amir being shameless enough to play in a legends league as an active player is quite pathetic, but he can humiliate himself all he wants as long as he's keeping himself out of contention of international cricket.
The guy will do anything for a bit of paisa and we don't need vile characters like that in the team.

Even they are more international material than Sharjeel. The kids who play cricket on my street are more international material than Sharjeel.
But now I guess you will try to convince us how this mediocre trundler is a world-beater. When in reality he's another average bowler that couldn't make it in international cricket, which is why he ran away like a coward.

Sharjeel batting right handed is more of a batsman than Shan Masood and Azhar Mahmood are

Retired from international cricket only. He is active as any other player when it comes to playing leagues. I am not following this legends league but I think Amir is the only non-retired player participating.
Quite embarrassing for Amir to be partaking in such competitions while he is still actively participating in leagues.

I didn't know your judged bowlers on their ability to bowl one good ball. I guess that explains alot. Because all Amir will ever be remembered for in the end is the fact that he was a match-fixer that bowled a few good balls in key matches.
But it is laughable that you would even compare a rubbish bowler like Amir to Shaheen or Bumrah. A guy who didn't have a the guts to accept the fact that he did nothing in 3 years and ran away like a coward when he was told to go back to domestic and earn his place back. You would have to be either deluded or a troll to make an assertion like that. It's like comparing Doink the Clown to Bret and Shawn. Or comparing Santino Marella to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.

You're talking about a guy who has zero self-respect. He knows he is a nothing bowler who is incapable of being successful in 2/3 formats. My problem with him is not that he is trying to milk every last dollar that he can out of this sport. Alot of players do that. My biggest problem with him is that he tries to paint himself as a victim. Because the CS had the gall to tell him to go back to domestic and earn his place back instead of taking a free ride like he had taken in the past 3 years.

Sarfaraz Ahmed in an interview
When asked to rank Mohammad Asif, Amir and Shaheen in order of their ability as a pacer.
"I will put Asif at number one position"
"If you talk about skills, Amir is not playing international cricket right now. I think he should play international cricket but it is his decision. If Amir was playing right now, I would put Amir at two and Shaheen at number three"

Sometimes these people make no sense. "If you talk about skills, Amir is not playing international cricket right now"... what does his skills have to do with whether he's playing international cricket or not. Asif last played in 2010 but he got the number one position here

Then I think he can comment about Amir peak-wise without saying he'd have to be playing international cricket right now to be ahead of Shaheen, just like he did with Asif. It's not like Amir will be any better right now than he was at his peak.

While this is a fair policy, Pakistan have better pacers than Amir right now. Its better for him to stay away retired then take his retirement back and not get called in the team.

If its just for the shorter formats i aint interested as we have better short format players than someone who bowls at 80mphr and whos commitment to the cause is second to himself

Hopefully this is nonsense. There is no basis for him to play in Pakistan colours again.
If he does it looks like we're seeing a reverse 'Friends XI' with Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir and vice captain Shan Masood all representing the toxic elements of the team we tried to rid ourselves from.
The only way Pakistan could sink even further would be by asking Salman Butt whether he fancies having a comeback.

Given that you think Shaheen is just a first over merchant ( ask KL Rahul, or maybe Tim David and Pollard from this years PSL final), it looks like you barely have a clue.
Which is ironic, because I’d be happy to see Amir back in the ODI squad. He’s probably the most interesting new ball partner for Shaheen alongside Naseem.
But he’s also meh in t20s recently, the evidence is irrefutable.
