Is Amir hungry to play for leagues?

Amir was heavily scrutinized after he announced his retirement from Test cricket citing workload issues. However, he has been participating in the limited-overs format. Amir’s decision to retire from Test cricket was criticized by many including former Pakistani cricketers and the left-arm pacer has been since in and out of the limited-overs side.

Amir’s Statement

“I don’t think I can continue playing cricket under this management. I am leaving cricket for the time being because I am being mentally tortured. I don’t think I can bear this torture anymore. What is happening recently is taunting me about everything. I took a personal decision and it has been presented in such a wrong way as though I don’t want to play for my country. Who doesn’t? Sometimes the bowling coach says he ditched the country, sometimes he talks about my workload, sometimes I am not in the plans. This is a wake-up call for me, that I am not in their plans, and I should move aside,”  Amir said in his statement on the issue.
