MOHAMMAD AMIR WON’T GET A HOSTILE RECEPTION THINKS IMRAN KHAN

 

 

Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir is all set to come back in Test Cricket after almost six years against England at Lord’s. He had played his last Test in 2010 against the same team at the same venue. Mohammad Amir could get a hostile reception from the Lord’s crowd but Pakistani legend Imran Khan doesn’t think so . Imran said in a talk show, “I don’t think he will get a hostile press or reception because from what I have seen having been to England there is lot of sympathy for him because when the spot-fixing scandal took place he was just 18 or 19 and he later on also quickly admitted his guilt and apologised to everyone,”

Imran Khan also said that, “There is a general wave of sympathy for Amir and my experience says he will get positive press and response in England and this should help him perform well in the coming series,”.Mohammad Amir was only issued a visa for the series after Pakistan Cricket Board obtained the support of England and Wales Cricket Board and British High Commission and filed a separate case for his visa. Imran Khan further went on to say, “Pakistan cricket was damaged because a person who did election fixing was rewarded with a position in the Pakistan cricket board,”.

Imran Khan also said that he believes in one captain for all format. “One of the negatives of his decision making is that now we have three captains for the three formats and I look at it as a joke because how can you have continuity in your team like this, If I had been there I would have had Misbah-ul-Haq as captain in the recent World T20,” Imran Khan said. Pakistani Team will tour England for 4 Tests, 5 ODIs and a twenty-20 international.
