Mohammad Amir's return to international cricket

Postby dan08 » Thu Dec 24, 2015 1:18 pm

Thought this deserved a thread of its own instead of being on the Spot Fixing and PSL threads.

To summarise everything so far, the coach has no problems with Amir and i'm sure wants him back for Pakistan but ODI captain Azhar Ali and senior player Hafeez are refusing to be part of the same team as Amir or even train with him.

Not sure what will happen next. It's a very tricky situation for the PCB - looks like they will have to choose between either Azhar and Hafeez or Amir.

Surely Amir shouldn't have been picked without making sure first nothing like this would happen. And then find a solution before it happens. They've only had five years. It seems the PCB just expect the players to do what they are told.

The PCB have great power over the players even if they quit international cricket they need a certificate from the PCB to play abroad.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Both Azhar Ali and Mohammad Hafeez have informed PCB they will tour New Zealand even if Mohammad Amir is selected

While I salute Hafeez and Ali on taking a stand on this issue, it was really only ever going to end with Amir returning to the fold and both of them being forced to back down.

Mohammad Yousuf says Misbah-ul-Haq brainwashed Azhar Ali which caused him to complain against Mohammad Amir :lol:

Pakistan's players have had to sign a document they'll have no objections to playing with any player who was banned for spot fixing
