In the recent past, Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir emerged as the backbone of the Men in Green’s bowling line-up. The left-hander was destined for greater things but he decided to put an abrupt halt to his career by announcing retirement in December 2020. It came as a shock for the entire cricket fraternity as Amir was just 28 when he decided to bid adieu to international cricket. In his retirement interview, the veteran accused Pakistan’s team management for cutting his cricket career short and mentally torturing him.
