Mohammad Amir Retires From International Cricket for the Second Time

The Pakistan fast bowler ends his controversial career after a brief return for the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Mohammad Amir, 32, announced his retirement from international cricket, marking the second time he has stepped away from the sport.
Amir cited the need to pass the baton to the next generation of players as his reason for retiring, following his participation in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
The left-arm pacer made his international debut in 2009 and played 36 Tests, 61 ODIs, and 62 T20Is, taking a total of 271 wickets across formats.
Amir's career was marred by a five-year ban and jail time for spot-fixing during a 2010 Test match in England, though he made a successful comeback in 2016.
He is best remembered for his match-winning performance in the 2017 Champions Trophy final against India, where he took three key wickets.
