Pakistan’s ace pace bowler, Mohammad Amir, reversed his decision to retire from international cricket. The pacer will be available for selection in the upcoming T-20 World Cup.
However, former Pakistani captain Ramiz Raza is not happy with the return of Mohammad Amir. Talking about Mohammad Amir on a Pakistani TV show, Raza said that if his son had committed such a crime (fixing), he would have disowned him.
Raza said, “My views on Mohammad Amir are very straightforward. I haven’t taken an oath to fix cricket, but I believe it’s important for society and fans to understand. When he was involved in fixing, I was commentating at Lord’s, and I could feel the intense hatred directed towards me because I was identifying the fixers. The amount of criticism I faced from the media during that time is something I can never forget.”
Raza further requested that fans understand that there’s no scope for improvement in cricket and that a tainted player should be expelled.
Raza said, “Wherever tainted cricketers exist in the world, they are usually expelled. While I sympathize with them, forgiveness isn’t in my book. If, God forbid, my son had done such a thing, I would disown him.”
