Mohammad Amir announces retirement from Test Cricket

[kosingh]

Guy is one ungrateful POS.

 

The ICC, the PCB and the game of cricket in general has been very kind to him. 

[cricketfan28]

very humble guy. 

[Vijy]

he was not a good test bowler pre-spot fixing, although he was improving. after coming back, he has been steady but not much more. it's not a big loss if he retires. he offers more value in LOIs.

[kirkutfan]

He is retiring Afridi style. 

[Suhaan]

I sure Kohli will write a heartfelt note for him ,you guys can anticipate all the words of that love letter and Amir will return eventually

A wasted career had so much potential

When you are in a good rhythm, you shouldn't do this. Not expected this. Its so early Amir. You have not even crossed 30 yet

And this Chichora fixer was destined to become the Next ATG.

 

Esko Pata tha UAE main home season start hoga toh phat jaegi Esliye jaldi jaldi retirement le liya.  Esko Sirf England pitches pe bowling karwa lo.

They should move on without him for LOIs also. Allowing him to pick only the shorter, lucrative formats is unfair to other bowlers who don't have such luxury. While it is true that his bowling sucks on flat, lifeless wickets, he could still be useful on the swinging pitches of England or South Africa or Newzealand. He should keep himself available for whatever format his team needs him in. Whether to pick him for tests or not should be the selectors' choice, not his.

Sad because he is one of the best bowlers I love to watch when he is on song, despite him being a Pakistani. In white ball cricket, he will mostly just be cannon fodder on the patta wickets. But hey, its his decision and its upto PCB and Pak fans to deal with.

Amir had a good test career but Amir really screwed Pakistan over by retiring from tests after he had the best tournament in his life. That defo was a confidence booster for him to perform better in tests but he wastes it by retiring. RIP (Retire in Peace)

Maybe VK will also retire to express his sympathy for his close buddy Amir.

[TheWall]

Maybe strict rules regarding match fixing has left him no choice but retire from playing test match....

[Norman]

It's his decision and a good one IMO. He has been ineffective in tests (barring a few in England) since his comeback. Good that he acknowledged this and is retiring unlike a few shameless leeches that are giving us hemorrhages.

Just read a report that Aamir is planning to settle down in England with his British born wife and has bought or is in the process of buying a home there  Besides county cricket, he is supposedly eyeing a spot in the United Nations side also!

He doesn't feel he is fit enough to play Test Cricket ..what can you do about that 

This shower of **** is just 27 and this should be his prime. You can understand him retiring if he was in 30s.

He at  least played more tests than Malinga who retired in 2010 at 26.

World Cup was in England and its over so is swing.  PCB will realise he isnt same in rest of world and just as in past, he will be dropped from limited overs too.
