Left-arm fast bowler Muhammad Amir is considering retirement from Test cricket, it was learnt here on Tuesday, as the fast bowler seeks to focus on limited overs cricket.
According to reports in local media, Amir discussed this with his team-mates and the management after Pakistan lost the second Test against the West Indies in Barbados.
The reports said that Aamir, told the teammates and management that he felt that playing Test cricket required a lot more physical fitness and endurance.
“Amir himself is now upset that how this private discussion came out in the open and who leaked the discussions,” one report said, quoted Press Trust of India (PTI).
“The Pakistan Cricket Board and team management in West Indies is now investigating as to who is responsible for leaking out this private discussion,” it added.
“He apparently indicated he would like to focus on one- dayers and T20 cricket,” the report said.
Since making his international comeback to the Pakistan squad after completing his five-year ban for spot-fixing in early 2015, Amir has played 15 Tests, but without much success.
