Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir has announced his retirement from Test cricket in a bid to concentrate on his white-ball future.
“It has been an honour to represent Pakistan in the pinnacle and traditional format of the game. I, however, have decided to move away from the longer version so I can concentrate on white ball cricket,” Amir said in a statement on Friday (July 26).
Amir, who made his Test debut as a 17-year-old in Sri Lanka in 2009, walks away from the format after having picked 119 wickets in the 36 games he’s played. The 27-year-old has taken the big step with a view on keeping himself fit and ready for next year’s World T20.
