Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed has admitted that left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir has to be more focused when it comes to ODI cricket.

Amir has done well in the Twenty20 format, but his form in 50-over cricket has been abysmal since the Champions Trophy final in June 2017.

From then until now, Amir has taken five wickets in 14 ODIs at a dismal average of 92.60.

“I might be mistaken in my judgement but I feel that Mohammad Amir will have to focus more towards cricket,” Sarfraz was quoted as saying by PakPassion. “He is a good and talented bowler and in the T20 format he is an excellent bowler.

“So he is good in four overs but he will need to focus on 10 overs also as there you have to usually bowl in three spells; In contrast, in T20 for four overs the bowler puts all his effort.

“So he will have to put in more hard work and be more focused. His issue is that he is bowling well but not able to take wickets and is not getting the right results.”
