Revitalized fast bowler Mohammad Amir expressed his determination to fulfill his “unfinished work” at the upcoming T20 World Cup, marking 15 years since his standout performance as a teenager during Pakistan’s previous victory.
The 32-year-old, who faced a spot-fixing scandal in 2011 leading to imprisonment, returned from retirement last month, eager for another shot at World Cup glory.
Speaking from Lahore, Amir emphasized his short-term goal of securing victory in the tournament.
Initially bursting onto the scene in 2009, Amir’s career took a tumultuous turn following the spot-fixing controversy in 2010, resulting in bans and jail time for him and his teammates.
Despite setbacks, Amir’s comeback in 2016 was followed by a surprise retirement in 2020 due to poor form.
Now back in action, Amir aims to contribute to Pakistan’s formidable pace bowling attack alongside Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, bolstering their status as World Cup contenders.
Reflecting on his journey from a village boy to a cricket hero, Amir remains focused on his goal of winning the World Cup, cherishing the memories of past successes and the opportunity for redemption on the cricket field.
