Muhammad Amir announces his retirement from international cricket for the second time
By Rifat Malik and Abdullah Ghauri
Muhammad Amir, the 32-year-old Pakistani bowler, has announced his retirement from international cricket for the second time, leaving his fans disappointed and emotional. Amir shared the news last week via a post on X (formerly Twitter), ending his international career.
In his heartfelt statement, Amir wrote: After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to retire from international cricket. These decisions are never easy, but inevitable. I believe this is the right time for the next generation to take up the baton and take Pakistan Cricket to new heights. Representing my country is and will remain the greatest honor of my life. I would like to sincerely thank the PCB, my family and friends, and especially my fans for their continued love and support.
Amir's international career is a mix of glorious achievements and controversies. After making his debut in 2009, Amir showed his potential early on and played a key role in Pakistan's T20 World Cup victory in 2009. It was his first international tournament and he made his debut against England in the same event.
Over the years, Amir proved to be an important player for Pakistan, especially in major tournaments. His standout performance came in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final against India, where he dismantled India's strong top order by dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan. His match-winning spell turned the match into a one-sided contest and helped Pakistan lift the trophy.
However, Amir's career has also been overshadowed by controversies. In 2010, he was found guilty of spot-fixing alongside captain Salman Butt and fellow fast bowler Mohammad Asif. Amir deliberately bowled a no-ball during a Test match against England, leading to his ban from international cricket for five years and imprisonment.
Despite the setback, Amir made a strong comeback during the Asia Cup in 2016. He returned to the national team and delivered consistent performances, proving his worth as a top-class bowler. However, in 2019, issues with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and team management surfaced again, especially with then head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis. Frustrated by these conflicts, Amir announced his retirement from international cricket in December 2020.
Amir's return to international cricket earlier this year marked a new chapter in his career. He came out of retirement in March 2024 and made a comeback in a home series against New Zealand. His inclusion in the Pakistan squad for the 2024 T2024 World Cup provided him with an opportunity to showcase his talent once again. Amir put in impressive performances throughout the tournament, consistently taking crucial wickets, although his performance in the super against the USA drew criticism. Despite that setback, his overall contributions were commendable. However, his decision to retire again has brought this chapter to a close.
Amir's career statistics reflect his brilliance: 271 wickets across formats, including 119 wickets in 36 Tests, 81 wickets in 61 ODIs and 71 wickets in 62 T20Is.
Amir is currently playing in the T10 League in Sri Lanka. Despite his controversies, he will always be remembered for his extraordinary talent, his ability to swing the ball and his match-winning performances. Pakistani cricket fans will continue to cherish the highs and lows of Amir's remarkable yet controversial career.
