Asked if he was leaving the sport altogether he said: "No, I'm not going away from cricket. If you have seen the atmosphere here and the way I've been sidelined, I got a wake-up call when I was not selected in the 35-man squad," Amir told Samaa TV. Amir added that the only people who supported him were former captain Shahid Afridi and former PCB chairman Najam Sethi. The PCB said Amir had confirmed to chief executive Wasim Khan that he had "no desires or intentions of playing international cricket" and should therefore not be considered for selection. "This is a personal decision of Mohammad Amir, which the PCB respects," it said in a statement.
