Pakistan's ace fast bowler Mohammad Amir  has announced his decision to reverse his retirement from T20 International cricket, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.

Amir, 31, announced retracting his retirement, saying he is ready to represent Pakistan in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup following "positive discussions" with the PCB.

A day earlier, star Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim took back his retirement from international cricket and announced his availability for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Amir called time on his international career in 2020 following issues with the then-management of the PCB but has now made his available for selection.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Amir confirmed that he still dreams of playing for Pakistan and therefore, has taken his retirement back as he has put his country ahead of his personal decisions.

“I still dream to play for Pakistan,” Amir posted on X. “Life brings us to the points where at times we have to reconsider our decisions.

There has been few positive discussions between myself and the PCB where they respectfully made me feel that I was needed and can still play for Pakistan after discussing with family and well-wishers, I declare that I am available to be considered for upcoming t20WC.

“I want do this for my country as it comes before my personal decisions. Donning the green jersey and serving my country has always been, and will continue to be, my greatest aspirations.”

After an impressive Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine campaign where Amir showcased his skills as an experienced pacer, especially with the new ball and in death overs, the return of the 31-year-old to international cricket became a hot topic among fans as the 2024 T20 World Cup is nearing.

Despite constantly stating that he has no intenions of returning to international cricket, Amir took his retirement back and is likely to be selected for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
