It was almost six months ago when former Pakistan speedster Mohammad Amir had hung his boots from international cricket alleging mental torture.
“I don’t think I can play under this management. As far as [international] cricket is concerned, I am leaving it because I am being mentally tortured. I don’t think I can tolerate this anymore. I have already seen a lot of torture from 2010 to 2015,” Amir had told Pakistani journalist Shoaib Jatt in a Twitter video.

“I also made it clear to him [Mohammad Amir] that the path he adopted was not right as a senior player. I think Amir is a valuable player for us even now and we will now make efforts to bring about rapprochement between him and the coaches,” Khan told Cricket Baaz’s YouTube channel.
