KARACHI: Mohammad Amir, a former fast bowler for Pakistan, was shocked to discover that he was trending on Twitter on Saturday.After Shaheen Shah Afridi was dropped from the national team for the T20 Asia Cup in 2022, cricket enthusiasts began suggesting Amir as a successor.
The left-arm pacemaker, who retired in 2020, responded to the trend on Twitter. He questioned his admirers, “I am trending on Twitter, but why?”In response, many people urged him to reconsider retiring and join the Pakistan team in Shaheen’s absence.
Amir retired from international cricket in 2020 because to disagreements with bowling coach Waqar Younis and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq of the then-Pakistani side. The pacer claimed that the coaches were biassed.
