Ex-Pakistan cricket team captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, has shared his views on the decision of all-rounder Imad Wasim and fast bowler Mohammad Amir to reverse their retirement ahead of the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies.

In a recent interview on a local TV channel, Sarfaraz stressed that both players bring valuable experience and skills to the team, which could be vital in a high-stakes tournament like the T20 World Cup.

“Look, they have been really close friends of mine and very good teammates. I always told Amir that you should play cricket for Pakistan,” Sarfaraz stated.

“I think it’s better late than never and they came at the right time as Pakistan needs them. So, I hope that their return would surely benefit the Pakistan team,” he further added.

The former skipper also underscored that the continued presence of the left-arm would have been greatly beneficial for both the player and the team.

Despite the criticism, Sarfaraz expressed optimism that Amir’s presence would be advantageous for the Pakistan team in the future.

“Look, I advised Amir at that time too that we should not leave our field,” he mentioned.

“Obviously, he must have his set of reservations due to which he might have thought he should not play anymore.

“But, wherever he played cricket, he played it really well. So, I think he wasted these two to three years [of his career].

“Had he played for Pakistan, it would have been fruitful both for him and Pakistan but again better late than never.”
