Mohammad Amir announced his retirement from international cricket in December but continues to play franchise cricket around the globe. With the second phase of the PSL about to start, Amir will soon be in action for the defending champions Karachi Kings.
In an interview with Cricket Pakistan, Babar Azam said he will speak to Amir about his problems when he gets the opportunity.
Amir claimed last year that he wouldn’t be able to play for the nation with the ‘current mindset’ of the coaching staff. The bowler was unhappy with how Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis treated him and alleged that he was dropped not because of his performances.
“We have the PSL to identify players who can fit into the Pakistan team” - Babar Azam
While Babar Azam is keen to take the Karachi Kings to back-to-back titles, the Pakistan skipper pointed out that they have one eye on the upcoming T20 World Cup as well. Babar said the PSL will help them in identifying players for the mega event, which will take place in October-November.
The Karachi Kings currently sit atop the PSL 2021 table with six points. However, three other teams also have the same number of points, with the Karachi outfit leading based on net run rate.
