Notably, Pakistan cricket underwent big changes just ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 as head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach, Waqar Younis resigned from their roles. Also, Ramiz Raja was appointed as the new president after the resignation of Wasim Khan.
I Was In Contact With Wasim Khan – Mohammad Amir

Mohammad Amir during a press conference said :
“I was in contact with Wasim Khan. There is new management and chairman at PCB. I have not spoken to any of them. You have to keep your self-respect and if I say I will come out of retirement and the board has no plans for me to return, then it would not be fair. So, at this point, I am focused on T10 and other cricket leagues.”
Amir has played 36 Tests, 61 One Day Internationals and 50 T20 Internationals for Pakistan National Cricket Team and was able to scalp 119, 81 and 59 wickets.
