Pakistan's pacer Mohammad Amir returns to the Test cricket at Lord’s, six years after his implication in the spot-fixing scandal. Fast bowler Mohammad Amir thinks he's lucky to re-don the Pakistan green cap.
I’ve got an opportunity which I feel no one has got in their career as I can resume my Test career at Lord’s where my progression was curtailed due to an unfortunate incident,” Amir told to local media. “I’m lucky that I’ll resume my Test career in the same country and against the same team and at the same venue.”
To be honest I never thought about my comeback and I feel seriously lucky to be back to play Test cricket again," Amir was quoted to foreign media. "I was all excited for Test cricket because that is where my career was held back. You call it a coincidence or whatever but for me it's a blessing that I am restarting (Tests) right at Lord's from where I stopped in 2010.
"I may have registered my comeback months ago but Test cricket is actual cricket, and playing it again was what I was looking forward to, which makes it my real comeback," said Amir. "I won't say that I have forgotten my past and those incidents won't come back to haunt me, but I am looking at it positively as I want to replace the past with a better future.
Pakistan takes on England in the first of four Test matches, starting July 14. Pakistan will also play five One-Day Internationals and a Twenty20 International, apart from the four Test matches, on the tour.
