Pakistan pace spearhead Mohammad Amir is considering to cut down on playing Test cricket, in order to prolong his international cricket career for the country.
The country’s top fast bowler, who represents Pakistan in all three formats of the game, was of the view that the game has changed a lot since 2010 and that he needs to manage his career better to serve longer.
“I can’t roll back that lost time but I can manage my workload to extend my career as much as I can. With every passing day I’m getting older and I know fans want me to play. But if you look rationally I’m human and not an iron man. My passion is still there and I want to be there for fans, serving the country for a long time. I have played 30 Tests so far. I think in the next few years I might miss a few and possibly I might end up with 50 Tests,” ESPNcricinfo quoted him saying.
“I came to an agreement with Mickey and with so much cricket we need to follow a rotation policy so that everyone is fresh and fully fit for the country. His planning ahead of the 2019 World Cup is working very well. I didn’t say I don’t want to play Test cricket but that I want to weave myself in, resting for a few and playing the important games,” he added.
After representing the Karachi Kings franchise in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL), Amir will be seen in action in the upcoming three-match T20 series against the West Indies.
