After PSL 8 ends, Sab Doodh ka Doodh Aur Paani ka Paani and then we will see if Amir is better than these guys. Amir needs to at least take more wickets then the 5th and 6th fast bowling option for Pakistan to merit a spot in the team.

I would say Shaheen is our bowler by a country mile in all forms of cricket. I can see where you're coming from because he stills need to learn how to bowl in the back end of an innings.

Having said that, we do need Amir in the 2023 World Cup. We need his bowling IQ when it comes to bowling at the death. Shaheen still hasn't figured this part out and I wonder whether Haris Rauf can handle the top tier batsmen. Time will tell if he can recover from what Kohli did to him a few months ago. Amir can raise his game when his team needs it the most.

Amir has a proven track record in ICC tournaments. He played an important part in Pakistan's 2009 WT20 and 2017 CT wins and he also performed well in the 2019 WC. This is why I have soft spot for him and forgive him for his spot fixing that happened at the beginning of his career.

Amir gets a lot of unnecessary hate from the deluded Misbah/Babar/Rizwan fan club.

It’s fine

The same people are telling their friends how Pakistan is the best team when it comes at the back of Amir wrecking India’s top order in crucial games
 
What will he bring to the team with his cutters and slower balls? He hasnt bowled more than 4 overs in a long time

Im not interested in what he did a decade ago or in 2017 but what is his form like now

Until he doesnt play domestic cricket and get his pace back upto mid 80s hes got no space in the team

Shaheen,Naseem Rauf are all better than Amir in t20s pluss then you have Wasim Jnr who has a good record.

Amir at their official age (and younger) was troubling the likes of Ponting. These guys have no future. Amir is still better than them
 
Yasir Shah in an interview on Amir:

Pakistan spinner Yasir Shah wasn't too happy with the left-arm pacer for his remark on Babar. The spinner stated that such statements shouldn't be made right before a match.

“No doubt, Babar is a world-class player and performs in every format. Bowler just needs one good delivery against a batter. But if you give such statements right before the match... (it isn't good). He has confidence on him. But he needs to realise that bowler can have a bad day. He didn't perform the way he is expected to,”

“He performed well in BPL. But this game didn't go well for him. It's the part of the game, but that happens.”

Amir isnt that teenager anymore and hasnt been the same bowler for a long time

Amir isnt better than them He wouldnt be troubling any of the top batters today He is well past it Hes the one that at now 34-35 has no future
 
Amir really needs to discover his pace again to be considered in national team. Well atleast he needs to bowl 135 kph because bowling below that he’s canon fodder
 
Bowling with pace and fire today. Still think he might have something in the tank. A fit and firing Amir bowling at 140 clicks walks into the pakistan team for me. Hope he excels

So Amir gets Hassan Nawaz and tells the critics to shut up?

Amir has become a joker . He will go down as the perfect example for every cricket which you shouldn’t follow

First you ruined your 5 years then you got chance to be back messed up that too

And now with your attitude putting urself even further down

I think he should just sit and be on tv shows . Their is no way he playing for Pakistan again
 
He can't take it that he's finished now. Still living off that fame of CT win. Harbhajan was so right to put him in his place. #Fixer ko sixer
 
Very soft bowler.

Bowls innocuous cutters and takes soft useless wickets.

He is the Asad Shafiq of bowling at the minute.

You’re right mate. The earth is flat.

Also, top three bowlers in Pakistan are Shaheen, Naseem and Haris. I’d put Aamir at 4

When he came on a TV show he couldn’t even pretend to be happy when his country had won it was plain for everyone to see. I can’t remember which game it was after in the World Cup. He just a hater I don’t care what he done in 2017.

are you having a mental breakdown? the man went for 42 last game and got a rookie out after getting creamed through the covers in the second one. he cannot swing the ball anymore, barely hits 140, his ego is writing bills his current ability cannot cash. I am surprised at how swift the downfall has been honestly. best t20 bowler in pk lol rumman raees is better than him at the moment and he is coming back from almost retirement due to a potentially career ending injry.
 
Not watched Amir for some time but it seems he has returned as a aggressive bowler.

Not so much his bowling, but more verbals with the batsmen.

Reacting to the incident, Amir revealed that it happened in the 'heat of the moment and it wasn't personal'. "It was a heat of the moment thing and it was nothing personal [against Babar]. Bowlers should show aggression on the field, to get the best out of them", he said.

"I was under pressure in the game, which is the beauty of this league. It helps you get better", he further added.
 
Who was he pointing to telling them to be silent when he took the wkt the other day?

Youd think he took a fiver the way he was going not a wkt of a rookie opener

Guptill has dealt with his shorter stuff today with ease.

Hasn't got that yard of pace these days, he once had.
 
Still a seriously wiley bowler and going at less than 4rpo.
And it looks it likes he's pulled a leg muscle :/
 
Seems like he's got a knee injury coming into the tournament.

I'd be surprised if he lasts the whole tournament.

No - this is not some charity shop

Retirement from Pakistan cricket is no joke. He messed us before and he will do again. He is fine for T20 League cricket, not needed in the Pakistan dressing room.
 
The Pakistani T20 bowling lineup is well balanced with quite a few youngsters waiting in the wings. Aamir's only chance is to play 4-day cricket and get back in the Test team. But then he is too fragile to play the toughest format.

Agree!
A guy who can't get along with the national team captain (Babar) and a few months back was harshly criticizing him as a TV pundit has no right to be in the team. Aamir is not a team man and his superiority-complex is detrimental especially to the younger players.

Babar’s days as captain are numbered. Amir already is in the PCB’s radar. A couple of more decent outings and he is coming back
 
I don't really care if he gets along with Babar or not.

1. 2010 he brought zillat to this country with his actions
2. 2021 decided to abandon his country and walked away

And we now want to beg him to comeback to play for us so we can have some bragging rights?

We have no shame.

He is going to replace which pacer...Rauf?
Click to expand...

I’ve hated Amir’s comments and histrionics. BUT, it’s not difficult to admit that he’s Pakistan’s second best new ball bowler after Shaheen. He’s also someone who Mickey would want back in the squad, given their previous harmonious relationship.

I think the concerns over the dressing room issues are legitimate, however regardless of Babar continuing as captain or not, Amir needs to come back in. Mickey needs to sit all parties down and make peace. Pakistan cricket would be stronger for it.

Regarding who he replaces, he should be opening the bowling in ODIs, where he would replace Rauf.

A bowling attack of Shaheen, Amir and Naseem is formidable.

As we’ve also seen with India and Bumrah, we need to carefully manage our fast bowling resources.

Shaheen, Naseem, Rauf, Amir, Ehsanullah, Hasnain, Arshad Iqbal (tests), Aamir Jamal (tests), Muhammad Wasim, Shahnawaz Dahani is alhamdullilah quite the pace battery. You elongate each of their careers by managing their work loads carefully. That’s how you get an Anderson length career.


Specific in this is Including Shaheen’s work load. Who better to deputise for Shaheen than Amir.

On one hand you want England style of cricket, on the other hand you support this. Remember Kevin Pietersen and how he was booted out despite being the one of the greatest Odi player of England. All because he disrupted team unity and had spoken against the team. Back Ihsnullah and others not someone who plays as per his whims
 
I was one of his biggest fans, even had his picture as display here on PP. However Amir has let everyone down. And he's now bitter due to emergence of Shaheen

People will sympathize with him "We pity him...he was an innocent kid from a humble background who was mislead by his teammates....he has suffered so much at such such a young age. He should be BACK!"

Yes, I have a feeling he will be back soon....and also out of the team, soon.

When he took his retirement he didn't knew that Shaheen will reach these glorious heights. He was just too confident that he is the best and irreplaceable.

Doesn’t have to be the case if either or. Bridges can (and should) be built. Amir needs to show some ‘give’, some contrition on his part. Things are never so far gone that they can’t be rebuilt.

The best case for all parties here is to come together. Permanently Fracturing a partnership because of ego and pride doesn’t help anyone.

100% agree, it’s not charity week is it.

Plus the guy is injury prone and his behaviour is increasingly poor, he feels too entitled.

Every Amir is an Ihsanullah or Shaheen until they achieve world fame. History repeats itself

As far as the KP saga is concerned, I didn’t support England’s way of dealing with KP as I believe it was more down to personal grudges with players rather than executive issues. Read all of my posts here. I can have strong views on the likeable/dislikable personality of players but I would never ask for them to be removed due to those personal opinions about them.

What matters to me is cricket. If your cricket isn’t good enough according to my opinion, I will not want that player in the team. I hate Shaheen’s behaviour and how he all of a sudden thinks he was the one who shot down those Indian jets on 27 Feb, as if he is the most unchallenged guy in Pakistan…but you don’t see me asking for him to be removed because of my personal dislike. Why? Because his cricket talks first to me.

This is true. Amir talks too much, but the way Misbah handled that whole situation, was absolutely suboptimal.

I feel there’s been a lot of revisionism about Amir’s importance to the side from 2016 onwards, to his retirement. He was an important player then, and, provided that he reigns his ** in (it is a team game afterall), he can be an important player now.
 
When we had Hassan Ali and Faheem Ashraf as our new ball bowlers in LOI’s I was backing Amir to take back his retirement…but now we have Shaheen and Naseem (two very good new ball bowlers + left/right bowling combo)…Rauf and Ihsanullah (both probably the same age and at the peak of their careers) - I can’t see how he makes it ahead of Naseem and Shaheen as the new ball bowler.

However, having Amir on the bench at the WC in India will keep our frontline bowlers on their toes.
 
Amir is a nothing bowler. We don’t need an over-the-hill pace bowler who grunts 130 KPH thunderbolts.

Only format I would consider him is for the longer format due to his experience and we are all certain he is too chicken to play Test cricket.

I enjoy your views which are pretty strong but it's upto Amir first to make himself available. Being a good cricketer is one thing, but since it's a team game you need to compromise. The problem with Amir is he won't. He wants others to climbdown for him. I agree he still will walk in the team as second seamer but he needs to fix his attitude which prevents him from achieving further greatness. As they say money can't buy class
