Former Pakistan seamer Mohammad Amir has lashed out at the team management asking them to end the “scary” dressing room culture.
“Give players some space and freedom. Put an end to this scary environment in the dressing room, these very players will win you matches,” he told the media.
Amir had retired last month alleging that there has been mental torture for him by the team management. The left-arm pacer had been dropped from the side because of his inconsistency as per the team management. “The issue is not about performance I know I can make a strong comeback but it is about this mental torture they put you through,” he said.
“One coach says speed does not matter what is important is taking 20 wickets (Waqar made the remarks on Thursday when asked about the lack of speed of the bowlers in New Zealand) and the other coach says speed is important in international cricket (Misbah said this at his interaction). Who should we believe?
“First think what you want to say than try to teach Amir.”
Waqar had earlier said that he was hurt by Amir’s comments. When asked about the same, Amir said, “I am glad he (Waqar) felt sad and bad because at least he will now realise how much someone’s statement can hurt you like I felt when he made statements about my decision to retire from Test cricket.”
“I didn’t say anything wrong and I only spoke the truth, nothing else.”
