The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management committee Najam Sethi said that he will not stop Mohammad Amir if he wants to make a comeback to international cricket.
The newly appointed PCB chair said he supported Amir's return to the national team. "I will not stop Mohammad Amir if he wants to make himself available to play for Pakistan again,"
“A player who has admitted his guilt, helped the ICC to stop match-fixing and corruption, and then paid a five-year penalty for being outside of cricket deserves to come back," he said.

Furthermore, attacking former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja, Sethi said, "Mohammad Amir thinks he is not dealt fairly by the previous regime of PCB, including selection committee and chairman Ramiz Raja,"
Earlier, Raja stated frequently that players facing fixing charges should not be allowed to make a comeback. "Ramiz Raja thinks whoever has committed corruption in cricket should never be allowed to play for Pakistan again. This is not my view!
"I believe someone who has paid the penalty should be allowed to make a comeback for Pakistan," he added.
