Despite the setback, the 31-year-old Amir himself took to the social media platform X to provide an update regarding his injury. He conveyed, “I will be fine InshaAllah, was on medication from last week because of stomach infection so it is just cramps. Hamstring hopefully will get better till Friday.”

However, Amir made a comeback to international cricket in 2016 before deciding to retire during the pandemic. Subsequently, he has played cricket in Pakistan, England, Bangladesh, and the Caribbean. Throughout his career, Amir showcased his talents as a world-class bowler in all three formats, claiming an impressive tally of 259 wickets for Pakistan, including 119 in Test matches.

In a recent interview with local media in Pakistan, Amir said that he did not take Rohit’s remarks seriously at all. So he didn’t reply at that time.

Amir said, “I did not take Rohit’s words seriously at all. Everyone can have their own opinion. I respect Batter Rohit. He is a world class batsman. But it is true that Rohit has always been under pressure in front of my bowling. ‘

It is to be mentioned that Mohammad Amir returned to international cricket with the T20 World Cup held in India in 2016 after ending the ban on spot-fixing. The commotion started with the return of Amir at the start of the tournament. Rohit felt upset about the matter. When asked about Amir at a press conference before the India-Pakistan match in Kolkata, Rohit said, “There is a lot of talk about Amir. Stop talking about him. He is not the only bowler in the Pakistan team. There are five more good bowlers in Pakistan. I don’t think there is anything to raise Amir unnecessarily before the match. He is just an ordinary bowler. ‘
Amir was silent at that time in Rohit’s comment.

Incidentally, Rohit has been dismissed three times by Amir in his career. Once in ODIs and twice in T20s.
