India never questioned match-winner Jasprit Bumrah, management just backed him: Mohammad Amir

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has lauded Indian team management for not questioning and just backing Jasprit Bumrah at the time when he needed it the most.

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has cited the example of Jasprit Bumrah to highlight how a proper team management functions. The 28-year-old, who retired from international cricket in December 2020 and cited 'mental torture' by the management as the reason, has said that the Indian team management never questioned Bumrah's performance and backed him at the time when he needed support. Mohammad Amir added that management's job was to help players and not just discard them on the basis of their performances in few matches. “I think it is not the right mindset to look at performance of only four or five matches. If you remember, [Jasprit] Bumrah had only one wicket in 16 matches when he was playing Australia series but nobody questioned him because they knew that he is a match-winning bowler. That was the time they [Indian team management] should have supported him and they did that.
