Chairperson of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Najam Sethi took charge back in PCB, the management committee chairman said in a media interaction that Amir would be considered for selection like other players, if he takes his retirement back.
“Mohammad Amir can play international cricket for Pakistan if he takes his retirement back. I always took a strong stance against match-fixing. I believe no convicted player should be spared, but at the same time, a player should be allowed to resume international cricket once he has completed his years of penalty,” said Sethi.
