Mohammad Amir aims IPL stint in 2026

8 Mar 25

Pakistan's Head Coach Misbah ul Haq, has directed a message to pacer Mohammad Amir that he must stay fit and perform well and take back his retirement. Misbah has also stated that he has no personal issues with Amir's return to the national team.

Misbah said during a press conference ahead of the tour of England and West Indies, “Like I have said before, Amir was dropped because of injuries and performance and later he announced retirement. If he takes his retirement back and performs well, the door is open for him to make comeback like every other player. I have no personal issue with him, which I have stated before as well,”

“He made a comeback when I was captain and later as a coach. Last year, he wasn’t able to travel with us to England due to some family issues but as soon as they were resolved we straightaway included him in the squad. I don’t know why this issue has been created and why Amir thinks like that. If we stays, performs well and the team needs him, he will considered for selection. Whatever happened in the past, I don’t think about it,” he added.

Misbah also hinted that changes could be made to the squads for England and West Indies tour if logistics permit.

“It’s unfortunate that we had to select the squad [before PSL 6] for England and West Indies tour so early due to logistics issues caused by the pandemic. Ideally, we wanted to consider the in-form players for selection and, if logistics allow us, we will make changes to the squad whenever needed,” he concluded.
