Former Pakistan cricket and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja believes Mohammad Amir should not be allowed to play for Pakistan solely based on his match-fixing involvement in the past.

Following a solid Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 campaign, Amir held discussions with the PCB to contemplate a return to international cricket ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup, which will take place in June.

Many fans, as well as current Pakistan players, have expressed their wish of seeing Amir back in the Green of Pakistan. On March 24, the 32-year-old left-arm pacer announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he will indeed come out of retirement and play for Pakistan. 


Ramiz Raja doesn’t want Mohammad Amir to represent Pakistan again

In an interview on a Pakistan channel, Ramiz Raja made his thoughts on Amir’s return to international cricket pretty clear, asserting that he wouldn’t forgive any cricketer who would stain the name of the sport getting involving in malicious practices. 

My views on Mohammad Amir are very straightforward. I haven’t taken an oath to fix cricket, but I believe it’s important for society and fans to understand. When he was involved in fixing, I was commentating at Lord’s, and I could feel the intense hatred directed towards me because I was Identifying the fixers. The amount of criticism I faced from the media during that time is something I can never forget.

Cricket as a sport is black and white. There’s no grey area because our cricket fraternity hinges on 200 international players. This is not society where someone can return to normalcy after serving punishment for their wrongdoings. Wherever tainted cricketers exist in the world, they are usually expelled. While I sympathise with them, forgiveness isn’t in my book. If, God forbid, my son were to do such a thing, I would disown him.

What next for Mohammad Amir?

Amir is currently at the Army Training Camp in Kakul, where he, along with 28 other Pakistan players, are undergoing a strenuous fitness programme. 

He is likely to be named in the squad for Pakistan’s upcoming five-match T20I series against New Zealand, which begins on April 18.
