Mohammad Amir should play T20 World Cup: Wasim Akram questions Pakistan management over pacer's absence

Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram backed the inclusion of Mohammad Amir in Pakistan's T20 World Cup squad while questioning the absence of the senior pacer. Amir has not played for Pakistan since August 2020.

Former Pakistan captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram has questioned Misbah-ul-Haq-led team management, expressing his disappointment at the absence of Mohammad Amir. Amir has not played international cricket since August 2020. He last played an ODI for Pakistan in October 2020. Amir had a fall-out with head coach Misbah and bowling coach Waqar Younis and he said he will not play for Pakistan until the two members of the support staff remain in charge. "I am very surprised because Amir is a very experienced bowler and one of the best in the world in T20 cricket. Personally I think he should be in Pakistan's World T20 squad," Akram told a TV channel, as quoted by PTI.
